6.1 Introduction

In 1948, Manchester University invented the stored program computer, the Baby. This was followed by the Manchester Mark 1 in 1949 and a commercial version of that was produced as the Ferranti Mark 1. Mary Lee and Conway Berners-Lee both worked on developing the Ferranti Mark 1 and in 1955 Tim Berners-Lee was born. Figure 6.1 shows Conway in 1999 (second from right) with some others who worked on the early Ferranti machines. The first Ferranti machine went to Manchester University in 1951 with Mary setting it up, probably making her the first commercial programmer. Nine systems were sold.
