The Hungarian Ljapunov:
Dr. Tihamér NEMES (1895-1960)

Nemes Tihamér
• The not very well understood, accepted
and recognised inventor
• The first engineer in Hungary,
• who tried to publish and teach
• the basic concepts of
• „cybernetics”

His engineering activity
• - He was the mechanical engineer of the Lloyd
aircraft factory
• - He was interested and studied the
electrotechnik and telecommunication
• - He became the chief engineer of the „Telefon-
communication News Company”.
• He is 30 years old, when he was appointed as
managing director of the Electrical and Precision
Engineering Inc. Co.

He is interested about the research
and development.
• He interrupted his directorship carrier and he
goes as a single engineer to the Development
Organisation of the Hungarian Post
• His first task was: to develop new phones. He is
the innovator of the famous new Hungarian
phone: CB 35, which was distributed in whole
Europe
• He worked out a new methode about
understanding the speach in the phones.

The development of machines
about the human activities
• He is interested about the television-technics,
his first theoretical and practical research
started in 1930.
• He studied the mechanism of eyesight and
applied the results in his colour television-patent.
• He patented his colour television system (1951).
• Later it was realised
• The television was his first cybernetical-like
modell of the human eyesight.

A Hungarian engineer on cybernetics
before the cybernetics was invented.
• Norbert Wiener declared the basic concepts of the cybernetics on 1948 in his book:
– „Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and Machine
– (The animal means human beeing, too.)
• Tihamér Nemes’ goal was to copy and to realize the different human activities with mechanical and electrical machines

His logical machines
– The working modell of the Jevons-logical
piano. Only wood, nail and string
– The pocket logical machine of wood to the
engineers solving logical tasks – using as the
„slide-rule” to arithmetical operations
– The genetics logical machine with reveresed
punch cards.
– Unfortunately all his logical machines were
lost.

Chess
• He studied the mechanism of the human thinking – i.e. the operation of the brain.
• He was a good chess-player.
• His chess machines were only designed, but he could not construct them, becuse the level of the engineering-technology was poor.
• He construct a chess machine to solve a chess exercise in two steps.
• His next construction was a chess playing machine, but it was never realized

Computers
• Several visits in our Cybernetical Reserch
Group from 1957, where we constructed
the M-3 computer.
• It was our first connection
• He was a very good adviser
• He was interested about our activities
• He died before we can show him our M-3
computer, which was ready in 1959.

ferrit-memory
• He studied the
• Early American
• Computers

He was an invited speaker of the
Budapest University of Technology
• He was not an „ordinally” speaker
– He gave lectures
• to undergraduated students and
• engineers of continuation courses
– He was an excellent speaker
– He gave ideas
– His subject matter was more then the normal teaching
material. He presented mostly his immaginations .
– He wrote a lot of articles and studies, but his book
was edited by his friends after his death
