The Manchester Baby: the world’s first electronic stored-program computer c. 1948
https://www.facebook.com/groups/673485739677016/

The Manchester Baby, also known as the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM),was the world's first electronic stored-program computer. It was built at the Victoria University of Manchester, England, by Frederic C. Williams, Tom Kilburn, and Geoff Tootill, and ran its first program on 21 June 1948.

...
The machine was not intended to be a practical computer, but was instead designed as a testbed for the Williams tube, the first truly random-access computer memory. Although considered "small and primitive" even by the standards of its own time, it was nonetheless the first working machine to contain all the elements essential to a modern electronic computer.As soon as the Baby had demonstrated the feasibility of its design, a project was initiated at the university to develop it into a more usable computer, the Manchester Mark 1. The Mark 1 in turn quickly became the prototype for the Ferranti Mark 1, the world's first commercially available general-purpose computer.
