The project is generally described here:

http://www.ese.upenn.edu/~jan/eniacproj.html

But the best technical description of it by far that I've found is in the book, "The First Computers--History and Architectures," MIT Press, eds. R. Rojas, 2000.  The relevant pages are online with Google Books here, starting on p121 of the book:
