Presentation Friday 26 April, 2024 at 17.00 BST by Andrew Herbert on the EDSAC Rebuild at TNMoC. A recording is available here Zoom Recording.
Andrew commented the following in the abstract.
While EDSAC can justifiably claim to have been ‘the world’s first practical digital electronic stored program computer’, as is well-known to the LEO community, Pinkerton, Lenaerts and colleagues had to address many of the ‘inadequacies’ to produce in LEO a robust machine that could take on the information processing needs of the Lyons company and be the world’s first successful business computer.
