Nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, the Computer History Museum is dedicated to preserving artefacts from the information age.
The museum has just opened a spectacular exhibit that traces the rise of the computer.
Pictured above is a replica of the Hollerith Electric Tabulating System that was used to process punch cards in the US census of 1890. In all, 60 million cards were processed with these machines.
