	Clifford Berry Summary
		Clifford Berry was a member of many learned societies but his work was never recognised by the granting of awards--his early death at 45 is probably the only reason he did not gain a list of awards as long as his list of patents.
		CLIFFORD EDWARD BERRY was born in Gladbrook, Iowa on 19 April 1918 to Fred Gordon Berry and Grace Strohm.
		Berry was issued 19 patents in the area of mass spectrometry, 11 patents in various areas of vacuum and electronics and, at the time of his death, had 13 patents pending.

		Clifford Edward Berry had the opportunity of a lifetime when he was offered the chance to work with John Atanasoff, a professor at Iowa State University, on a newfangled machine.
		Berry had come to the job as a brilliant graduate student, curious, adept, inventive and armed with a solid background in electronics and mechanical construction.
		Atanasoff took a defense-related job in Washington, D.C., and Berry did the same, moving to Pasadena, Calif., to work with Consolidated Engineering Corp. He was able to complete, in absentia, his doctorate in physics from ISU in 1948.

	Marston Muses, Spring 2000
		Berry was creative, amazingly adept at computer concepts, and able to manage complex problems with little outside assistance.
		Berry received his B.S. in electrical engineering from Iowa State in 1939 and had just joined the graduate program when Atanasoff asked him to work on the computer project.
		Berry went on to complete his doctorate in physics from Iowa State in 1948, working in the area of mass spectrometry.

	ISU Foundation : Foundation News
		Clifford Berry received a B.S. in electrical engineering (1939), and his M.S. (1941) and Ph.D. (1948) degrees in physics from Iowa State.
		Berry's background in electrical engineering served him well as he assisted John Vincent Atanasoff in building both the prototype for the computer and the full-scale machine, called the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC).
		While a graduate student, Berry played an instrumental role in the design and construction of the original computer by developing the assembly procedure for the logic circuit, which was digital rather than analog.

	56 - Cryptonomicon - Clifford Berry
		Clifford Berry was born on 19 April 1918 in Gladbrook, Iowa.
		Berry proved to be a good a student at University as he had been at high school, and so upon graduation his professor Harold Anderson had an interesting suggestion for him.
		Clifford Berry died suddenly on October 30, 1963 in New York where he had gone to become Manager of Advanced Development at the Vacuum-Electronics Corporation.

	The History of Computers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		"Berry is a brilliant student, has a tremendous grasp of mechanical construction, and is well-grounded in electronics," the electrical engineering professor said of the young man who planned to begin graduate school that fall.
		In the fall of 1939 Atanasoff and Berry began building the prototype of the first computing machine to use electricity and vacuum tubes, binary numbers, capacitors in a rotating drum for memory elements, and logic systems for computing.
		Berry and Atanasoff worked together in their basement laboratory over the next two years, with both professor and student suggesting improvements and innovations.

		He was born in Gladbrook, Iowa on 19 April 1918 to Fred Gordon Berry and Grace Strohm.
		One copy of this manuscript was sent in late 1940 to Chicago patent lawyer, Richard R. Trexler, who had been hired by Iowa State College to give them advice on how to protect the inventions that were incorporated into the Atanasoff-Berry Computer.
		It was while Clifford was a graduate student in physics and was working as a graduate assistant on the ABC that he met Martha Jean Reed, also an Iowa State graduate who was working in the Physics Department as secretary to John Atanasoff.

	The Trial
		"Clifford Berry was there and there may have been one or two other people in the room at the same time, and Clifford and Mauchly immediately went into discussion of the various details of the machine.
		By the end of Atanasoff's testimony, Halladay had established that the date on the green-covered booklet on that Atanasoff Berry Computer was 14 August 1940, and there was no doubt in Atanasoff's mind that "the date of the conception, the roadhouse event" was the winter of 1937-38 rather than the winter of 1938-39.
		Now Mauchly, who had testified he could not remember Clifford Berry, had a clear recollection that Cliff Berry was present at some demonstrations of the operation of the computer machine.

	BERRY Family Genealogy; James Madison BERRY & Julia Ann BERRY & their descendants
		She was married to J. Berry in 1832, and moved to Washington, Davies county, Ind., where her husband built the first court house of that county.
		Berry had been driving about the town with Spence Bufkins, one of his employees, but went home, saying his wife was not feeling well.
		No trouble, however, is known to have occurred between Berry and her, the general opinion being that this death was brought about by financial matters or remorse over the treatment of his wife.

	John Vincent Atanasoff's Special-Purpose Electronic Digital Computer
		Working alongside one of his graduate students (the brilliant Clifford Berry), Atanasoff commenced work on an electronic computer in early 1939, and had a prototype machine by the autumn of that year.
		The presence or absence of these spots could be automatically determined by the machine later, because the electrical resistance of a carbonized spot varied from that of the blank card.
		However, while some observers agreed that the machine was completed and did work, others reported that it was almost completed and would have worked, while still others stated that it was just a collection of parts that never worked.

		The reconstruction is a tribute to computing pioneers John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry, who designed and built the ABC, the world's first electronic digital computer, at Iowa State from 1939 to 1942.
		Among those who provided help in ferreting out details were Robert Mather, a retired physicist who in the 1930s wired the original; and Jean Berry, Clifford's wife and Atanasoff's secretary, who helped the ISU team figure out what paper was needed for the ABC's read and write system.
		Atanasoff and Berry's landmark machine was lost in the urgency of World War II.

	ABC
		Atanasoff hired a graduate student, Clifford Berry, and they constructed a small proof-of-concept machine in 1939.
		Atanasoff and Berry left Iowa State University for other tasks as World War II progressed, the problem was not resolved, and the machine saw little practical use.
		Using electronics in the binary mode was quite a departure from the practice of the time, which tended to stay in the continuous (analog) mode.
