“The Ballistic Research Laboratory annex, Aberdeen Proving Ground, 1946. Six women program ENIAC by physically rewiring cables. Foreground shows Kathleen 'Kay' McNulty and Jean Bartik consulting blueprints and patch cords; midground reveals racks of vacuum tubes and accumulator panels; printouts of trajectory tables stack on a desk under the buzz of one of the first programmable computers.”
