Clifford Berry was an American graduate student in physics at Iowa State College who worked with John Atanasoff to design and build the Atanasoff-Berry Computer between 1939 and 1942, contributing much of its detailed engineering. Work on the machine stopped when Atanasoff and Berry left for wartime assignments, and neither man patented it.
