Secret wartime projects in code-breaking, radar and ballistics
produced a wealth of ideas and technologies that kick-started the
development of digital computers. Alan Turing took an early lead on
the theory side, along with fellow mathematicians on both sides of
the Atlantic. This is the story of the people and projects that
flourished in the post-war period. By 1955 the computers produced
by companies such as Ferranti, English Electric, Elliott Brothers
and the British Tabulating Machine Co. had begun to appear in the
market-place. The Information Age was dawning. Before the market
passed to the Americans, for a brief period Alan Turing and his
contemporaries held centre stage. Their influence is still
discernible deep down within today's hardware and software.
