Summary edit

Alan Turing's original proposal for the "Electronic Calculator" designed a general-purpose computer and was submitted to the Executive Committee of the National Physical Laboratory in February 1946. The design was a paired down version of the original ACE computer, and became a prototype for the DEUCE computer, of which 33 were produced.
