Babbage's dream comes true

In 1888, Henry Babbage, Charles Babbage's son, completed a simplified version of the analytical engine's computing unit (the mill) . He gave a successful demonstration of its use in 1906, calculating and printing the first 40 multiples of pi with a precision of 29 decimal places.[31] This machine was given to the Science Museum in South Kensington in 1910. He also gave a demonstration piece of one of his father's engines to Harvard University which convinced Howard Aiken, 50 years later, to incorporate the architecture of the analytical engine in what would become the ASCC/Mark I built by IBM.[32] Leonardo Torres y Quevedo built two analytical machines to prove that all of the functions of Babbage's analytical engine could be replaced with electromechanical devices. The first one, built in 1914, had a little electromechanical memory and the second one, built in 1920 to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the invention of the arithmometer, received its commands and printed its results on a typewriter.[33] Torres y Quevedo published functional schematics of all of these functions: addition, multiplication, division ... and even a decimal comparator, in his "Essais sur l'automatique" in 1915. Some inventors like Percy Ludgate, Vannevar Bush[33] and Louis Couffignal[34] tried to improve on the analytical engine but didn't succeed at building a machine.
