The cards came out all wrong. No matter which way Glen loaded them into the ENIAC, they came out jumbled. No wonder the program wouldn’t run. But how to fix it?
Glen called Betty and explained.
“That’s easy. First, go to room three. Walk behind the panel on the right all the way to the back. Open the lower cupboard. Then turn the crank a quarter turn to the left.”
It worked like a charm. Next time he saw her, he said, “How do you always know?”
“I guess it takes a woman’s touch.”
“Ironic for something made by the military.”
