Abstract
This article continues the story from the immediate post-war developments at NPL and the Cambridge and Manchester computers already discussed in Part 1, which was published in Electronics & Power, 1978, 24, pp. 827¿832. It will be remembered that Alan Turing´s 1946 design for an Automatic Computing Engine ran into difficulties, not least because the design itself and Turing´s personality were incompatible with the other early British computer groups
