A machine impressed by Babbage's design was arguably the first for use in computational science. George Scheutz learn of the distinction engine in 1833, and along along with his son Edvard Scheutz began work on a smaller version. By 1853 they'd constructed a machine that could process 15-digit numbers and calculate fourth-order differences. Their machine won a gold medal at the Exhibition of Paris in 1855, and later they sold it to the Dudley Observatory in Albany, New York, which used it to calculate the orbit of Mars. One of the primary industrial makes use of of mechanical computer systems was by the US Census Bureau, which used punch-card equipment designed by Herman Hollerith to tabulate knowledge for the 1890 census.
