Computing Machine Laboratory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:DMCA Template:DMCA The Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester in the north of England was established by Max Newman shortly after the end of World War II, around 1946.[citation needed]

The Laboratory was funded through a grant from the Royal Society, which was approved in the summer of 1946.[1] He recruited the engineers Frederic Calland Williams and Thomas Kilburn where they built the world's first electronic stored-program digital computer, which came to be known as the Manchester Baby.[2] Their prototype ran its first program on 21 June 1948.[3]
