This groundbreaking demonstration machine was the first computer to execute a program from memory. Parts of the "Baby" were later incorporated into a larger machine, the Manchester Mark I. The "Baby" was not preserved, but in 1998 a working replica was built and demonstrated for the 50th anniversary of that historic event.
