| "The next
improvements were made by the Earl of Stanhope, in
England, in 1775... ...and 1777. Neither Stanhope machine embodied new mechanical systems, but they were ruggedly constructed and more reliable. Technical skills now had a chance to catch up with inventive capacity. " David Weil, Computer Museum of America. |
