Mauchley needed someone tooversee the design and construction of the ENIAC computer, and it was J. Presper Eckert who rose to the challenge. They completed the first general purpose digital computer in 1946. Later that year, Eckert and Mauchly started a business partnership that become the Eckert-Mauchly Corp.
