Reader at the Victoria University
Time: 1948
Place: Manchester, England
Details: In 1948, Turing was appointed Reader in the Mathematics Department at the Victoria University of Manchester. A year later, he became Deputy Director of the Computing Machine Laboratory, where he worked on software for one of the earliest stored-program computers—the Manchester Mark 1. Turing wrote the first version of the Programmer's Manual for this machine and was recruited by Ferranti as a consultant in the development of their commercialized machine, the Ferranti Mark-1.
