In the UK, has been sent from Pennsylvania EDSAC, a precursor to the first commercial computer break an original piece to take up residence in Bletchley Park site.
Room size 650 instructions per second can EDSAC.

A rare remnant of a major British computer scene in the US and the UK in its way to the historical reconstruction of the machine has to be added.
Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator, or EDSAC, the world's first practical general-purpose computer, a computer and one of the first business computer is recognized as a precursor to a design. Many research scientists, including two Nobel EDSAC researchers from Cambridge University where I was working was built in the 1940s.
Room size computer's main memory used for the 5-foot-long tubes filled with mercury. This, 3,000 vacuum tubes 140 chassis for the trust of computational operations, consisting of 12 arranged on racks. Pennsylvania resident Robert Little Current searches donate - valves designed to hold 28 chassis - May 6, 1949, as it was on the computer EDSAC which aims to create a replica Replica Project, after reading about the program before it ran successfully.
Andrew Herbert, EDSAC leader to rebuild, rebuilt by volunteers shows a chassis. (Click to enlarge.)
Little change in bookshelves had purchased several EDSAC rack Cambridge resident Robert Clark, 1969 was part of the computer.
"Dr. Clark EDSAC parts vanishingly small chance of finding any more regrets that," Little visitors can see where the EDSAC Replica UK Bletchley Park code-breaking center, issued by the National Museum of Computing Project to display a statement. "Dr. Clark moved into a house in the outskirts of Cambridge and maybe then disposed of unnecessary things sometime between 1969 and 1984, died in 1984.."
Little he vaguely EDSAC parts in the auction when Clark won a local scrap metal dealer bidding against misses the talking. "Nevertheless, I worked with the construction and EDSAC those who have preserved intact until now is that other mementos that I hope," he said.
UK 1949 EDSAC computer reconstruction
Spare a far, far cry, today's handheld computer, EDSAC height over 6.5 feet (2 meters) and measured 215 square feet (20 square meters) was a footprint, to say. This effectively replace the more than 1,500 times faster than mechanical calculators computing, a top 650 instructions per second can.
Chassis called recently donated part 1, now broken, with the misshapen wires, corroded, but it may not be completely unusable.
"This operating condition to return to this particular chassis will be a big challenge," Andrew Herbert, EDSAC leader said reconstruction. "He's still our rebuilding EDSAC such a solid connection with the machine to provide, operate, however, if we try to use some of the valves is expected."
EDSAC Replica Project began in 2011, and all goes according to plan, is expected to be completed late this year.
