MPX5162713: 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.
