Electronic Discrete Sequential Automatic Computer
EDSAC

    (EDSAC, often "Electronic Delay Storage
   Automatic Computer") Based upon the EDVAC (Electronic
   Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) designed in 1945, the
   EDSAC was completed in 1949 at the University of Cambridge
   Mathematical Laboratory in England.  The EDSAC performed its
   first calculation on 1949-05-06. EDSAC was considered to be
   the first computer to store programs.  It ceased to exist in
   about 1951.
