In 1945 Turing drew up his revolutionary design for an electronic computing machine-his Automatic Computing Engine ('ACE'). A pilot model of the ACE ran its firstprogram in 1950 and the production version, the 'DEUCE', went on to become a cornerstone of the fledgling British 606 $aComputers$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aComputer engineering$zGreat Britain$xHistory 615 0$aComputers$xHistory. 615 0$aComputer engineering$xHistory. 676 $a621.39 701 $aCopeland$b B.
