The player piano uses a roll of paper with holes punched in it. The presence or absence of a hole determined if that note was played. Air was used to sense whether a hole was present. The invention of the puter was one of the turning points in numerical control. In 1943 the first puter, called ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was built. The ENIAC puter was very large. It occupied more than 1500 square feet and used approximately 18,000 vacuum tubes to do its calculations. The heat generated by the vacuum tubes was a constant problem. The puter could operate only a few minutes without a tube failing. In addition, the puter weighed many tons and was very difficult to program. ENIAC was programmed through the use of thousands of switches. The $15 calculator available today is much more powerful than this early attempt. The real turning point in puter technology was the invention of the transistor in 1948. The transistor was the replacement for the vacuum tube. It was very small, cheap, dependable, used very little power, and generated very little heat: the perfect replacement for the vacuum tube. The transistor did not see much industrial use until the 1960s. INTEGRATED CIRCUITRY In 1959 a new technology emerged: integrated circuits (ICs). Integrated circuits were actually control circuits on a chip. When manufacturers discovered how to miniaturize circuits, it helped reduce the size and improve the dependability of electronic control even more than the transistor had. Largescale integrated circuits first were produced in 1965. In 1974 the microproces
