- Abstract
- Argues that Vannevar Bush, generally thought to have had a great deal of influence of the development of computerized information retrieval systems, had much less to do with its development than was once believed. Examines the case histories of 2 machines which came closest to the realisation of his famous Memex concept: the Comparator; and the Rapid Selector and points to the less than successful attempts to develop machines to assist US codebreakers and future libraries
