There’s a small experimental piece and that is all infact of the engine was ever completed. The largest design of this kind that Babbage devised could infact been inside of a small (inaudible) motor (inaudible) had many respects and has much in common with modern digital computers which is what is quite extraordinary given the time in which it was devised the (inaudible).Which is what we will now call central processing unit the place that the machine operated on the information is quite separate from what we now call memory. What Babbage called the (inaudible) the separation of (inaudible) and (inaudible) is a feature of the (inaudible) developments. Perhaps the most revolutionary feature of the whole machine is the fact that it’s programmable. It’s general purpose, a programmable machine and very used punch cards to program the machine.
