  • Abstract
    From a historical point of view, there is a crucial difference between ENIAC operating as a stored-program machine in March-May 1948 as against September 1948. This arises because the Manchester Baby, which operated as a stored-program machine from the beginning, is known to have first operated on 21 June 1948.
