 | Particle impactor to study atmospheric particulate matter; Aiken condensation nuclei counter, and Dupont humidity sensor. Credit: Paths Less Taken - NOAA at the Ends of the Earth. |  | Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1945. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found". They put out the word that they had "debugged" the machine, thus introducing the term "debugging a computer program". In 1988, the log, with the moth still taped by the entry, was in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum at Dahlgren, Virginia. Credit: NAVY. |
