Universal high-speed digital computers: a small-scale experimental machine
F.C. Williams, Tom Kilburn, G.C. Tootill · Proceedings of the IEE - Part II Power Engineering · 1951
An experimental electronic computing machine has been constructed, using the serial binary-digital system of number representation. The principle of its operation is explained by means of an analogy; and its design and construction are described in detail. Although the machine is small in size, it has been designed with a view to expansion, and will then be intrinsically capable of performing any computation automatically.
