What is the nickname of the computer produced in 1948 by the Royal Society Computing Machine Laboratory, established by Max Newman?
Max Newman Maxwell Herman Alexander "Max" Newman, FRS (7 February 1897 – 22 February 1984) was a British mathematician and codebreaker. His work in World War II led to the construction of Colossus, the world's first operational, programmable electronic computer, and he established the Royal Society Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester which produced the world's first working, modern stored program electronic computer in 1948, the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine.
Air Ministry Experimental Station AMES, short Air Ministry Experimental Station, was the name given to the British Air Ministry's radar development team at Bawdsey Manor in the immediate pre-World War II era. Although the team would be forced to move on three occasions, changing names as part of these moves, the AMES acronym became the basis for naming Royal Air Force radar systems through the war. The same numbering sequence was used after the war as well, but generally dropped the AMES from the name. A good example is the Type 80, which was officially an AMES type, but rarely appears with that marque.
