• Herman Hollerith developed a
mechanical tabulator based
on punched cards to rapidly
tabulate statistics from millions
of pieces of data.

which used them for the 1890
census. That census, using the
tabulators, required only six
years; the previous 1880
census had taken eight years.

of the major figures in 20th-century
American sociology. lazarsfeld's
many contributions to sociological
method have earned him the title of
the "founder of modern empirical
sociology”.
• Lazarsfeld made great strides in
statistical survey analysis, panel
methods, latent structure analysis,
and contextual analysis. He is also
considered a co-founder of
mathematical sociology. Many of
his ideas have been so influential
as to now be considered self-
evident. He is also noted for
developing the two-step flow of
communication model.

• Both Merton and Lazarsfeld were new
faculty members in Columbia University’s
Department of Sociology appointed in
1941. Merton and his wife came to dinner
at the Lazarsfeld’s apartment on Saturday
evening, 23 November 1941. Upon arrival
Lazarsfeld explained to Merton that he had
been just asked by the U.S. government’s
Office of New Facts and Figures to
evaluate a radio program.Thus ‘Merton
accompanied Lazarsfeld to the radio
studio, leaving their wives in the Lazarsfeld
apartment with the uneaten dinner’.
• Lazarsfeld was using the famous Stanton-
Lazarsfeld Program-Analyzer, to record the
responses of listeners, and in the ensuing
interviews they conducted, Merton was
instrumental in ensuring questions were
properly answered. This was believed to
be the start of the ‘focused group
interview’, or what we now known as the
‘focus group’. It was also the beginning of
a rich and influential collaboration in the
field of communication studies.
