Ten Years of Computer Development

The Rt. Hon. The Earl of Halsbury

National Research Development Corporation, London, UK

This paper gives a historical account of how computers have developed in the United Kingdom. For the benefit of overseas readers it is recorded that Lord Halsbury was appointed temporary advisor to the Board of Trade in May 1949 and, when the National Research Development Corporation was established, he became its first Managing Director at the end of June 1949. He has announced his intention of leaving the Corporation at the end of March 1959: this paper is, therefore, part of the permanent historical records of British computer development, by one who has, for ten years, been closely associated with this work among a number of manufacturing companies.
