Abstract
IN recent article (see Nature, August 27, p. 341) an account w as given of a conference on high-speed digital calucalting machines held in the University Mathematical Laboratory, Cambridge. The article included a brief description of the EDSAC (electronic delay storage automatic calculator)1,2, the large electronic calcuring machine which has been built in the Laboratory, and its relationship to the various similar machines now under construction in England and the United States. It is intended to give here some further information about the EDSAC.
