    The Pilot ACE Executed Its First Program

    Hampton, London, England
    Wednesday May 10, 1950

    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.
