The invention of the term "bug" is often erroneously attributed to Grace Hopper, who publicized the cause of a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer.  A typical version of the story is given by this quote: “ In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark-II and Mark-III ( The   Harvard Mark II   was an electromechanical computer built at Harvard University   under the direction of   Howard and was finished in 1947. It was financed by the United States navy ) . Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book.

The date in the log book was 9 September 19
