[QUOTE="Ditherer and Son, post: 81114, member: 394"] George Julius, a WA engineer who invented the world's first cheat-proof mechanical vote counting machine. He sold it to New York State in 1892. In 1907 he created the first automatic totalisator or "tote" as used by the TAB's. He then went on to become the first chairman of the CSIRO in 1926. I confess that the Ditherer himself answered this one, he recalled it as a story that did the rounds again when he was selling computers to TAB's in the 60's [/QUOTE]
