Emanuel Goldberg of Dresden, Germany was an inventor who patented a statistical machine in 1931. His patent describes controlling counting machines by radiating energy, such as rays picked up by a selenium cell passing through perforations in cards or strips, in place of mechanical or electrical contacts. He noted that earlier machines were complicated and limited in speed by the inertia of their mechanical parts, and that his approach would be simpler and faster.
