Well, there are these two. Are the comments in the ferranti wikipedia
about them correct?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z4_(computer)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BINAC
I provide link to wikipedia, because it is free of charge and available
to public.
But it is not the only source of that information.
Note: I'm not Ferranty fan, nor I ENIAC (or Mark I) enemy. Actually I
don't care.
What I know/feel is there was no "first computer". There were many
attempts, each of them is notable and each of them was first in some
sense. It can be Atanasoff Berry, ENIAC, Harvard vel IBM Mark I,
Ferranti, Atlas, Zuse, Babbage...
All of them are the bricks in pyramid we (the people) built.
