Bletchley Park to restore 112-byte 1950s UK nuclear computer

The Register : In a project described as “the computing equivalent of the raising of the Mary Rose,” engineers at Bletchley Park intend to restore a 1950s-era computer—featuring a magnificent 112.5 bytes of memory—to working order.The machine in question was built at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell in Oxfordshire. It was designed in 1949 to automate the job of a human calculating team, whose work was apparently so boring that mistakes became unacceptably frequent.
