  • Another ICL Anthology
    Foreword On June 21st 1948 Tom Kilburn ran a program on the first electronically stored program computer in the world. Freddy Williams and Tom had been struggling for some time to make their cathode ray tube store work. Demonstrating the store was the key thing, for without a store the computer as we know it today could never be. This simple machine, always known as the 'BABY', was developed into the Ferranti Mark 1, the first computer to go on commercial sale anywhere in the world. Tom's program was the first program to be written and run. Some of us here in Manchester felt that the fiftieth anniversary of such stupendous achievements should not go unnoticed. So at 11 a.m. on June 21st 1998, fifty years to the dot later, Tom ran that same program again on a reconstructed BABY that had earlier been ceremonially switched on by the widow of Freddy Williams. A team of enthusiasts, almost all members or retired members of ICL, researched the design and built the machine from genuine 1940s components. This would not have been possible without the usual ICL drive and enthusiasm, typified at the personal level by Chris Burton (ex- ICL West Gorton) who led the team, and marked at the corporate level by sponsorship of the project. Anyone interested can now see BABY at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. Tom Kilburn says that it looks exactly like the original - except that it's cleaner. I mention this story because it illustrates vividly what has happened to our industry over fifty years.
