In August 1967, Wireless World published the first of four articles describing
the "Wireless World Digital Computer":
"Low cost desk top binary machine for small-scale calcualtions
and for use in schools as a teaching aid, designed by B. Crank
of "Wireless World" staff. Numbers are fed in manually and
results of calcultaions are read from inicator lamps. Instructions
entered in binary coded form by a set of switches, are interpreted
and carried out automatically by the machine."
Constructed from reject germanium transistors, the total cost of parts was
estimated at UKP 50.
If there is interest I can scan the articles.

Hi, Hans:
I, for one, would be very interested in getting a copy of the
articles.
