MPX5162669: Tony the singer to re-marry. American singer Tony Bennett announced on Thursday night (7-3-68) that he is to marry again. "When my divorce does come through, I will marry this girl." he said, planting a kiss on the lips of 27-year-old Sandi Grant, with whom he is pictured here. Sandi, who is touring Britain with Tony, was once an actress. "But I've thrown my careen up," she said, "because Tony is such a groovy man." Blonde Sandi, from Louisiana, U.S.A. had her previous marriage dissolved eight years ago. In 1967 Tony's wife, Patricia, filed a divorce suit against him, March 1968 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
MPX5162716: Daily Mirror Ruggles feature on the the team at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, developing the Automatic Computing Engine known as the Pilot ACE. The Pilot ACE ran its first program on May 10, 1950 and was demonstrated to the press in December 1950. Although originally intended as a prototype, it was clear from its initial tests that the machine was a potentially very useful resource, especially given the lack of other computing devices at the time. After some upgrades to make operational use practical, it went into service in late 1951, and saw considerable operational service over the next several years.
