2     Tom Kilburn standing beside the Ferranti Mark 1 Console

This is the first Ferranti Mark 1, installed in the new Computing Machine Laboratory at the University in 1951. Sitting at the console is Keith Lonsdale (right) and B.W. (Brian) Pollard (left). B.W. Pollard was a key member of Ferranti working on the Ferranti Mark 1. (Unfortunately, due to some misunderstandings, he was not invited in time to come over from the US for the Celebrations.)
