Abstract

Let us start with the realization that only about 100 years ago all accounting was carried on solely by hand-writing and mental computation. Mechanization began with the adding machine, and desk calculator, which eliminated the necessity for human computation, but still relied on human operators to enter the data and assemble the results. Then came various posting and special-purpose machines, forms of typewriters which speeded the accounting process, but did not affect its fundamental nature.
