Returning to Cambridge
Time: 1947
Place: Cambridgeshire, England
Details: In late 1947 he returned to Cambridge for a sabbatical year during which he produced a seminal work on Intelligent Machinery that was not published in his lifetime. While he was at Cambridge, the Pilot ACE was being built in his absence. It executed its first program on 10 May 1950, and a number of later computers around the world owe much to it, including the English Electric DEUCE and the American Bendix G-15. The full version of Turing's ACE was not built until after his death.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
