ICT 1301 Resurrection Project, The

Because of about 150(ish) of these British Built and designed machines, which had their heyday in the early 1960's. This is the only machine left in the world, which in any way can be described as working. If this machine is not restored then there is little chance that either of the other remaining two 1301's in the world, will ever be restored. The machine represents a perfect example of a second-generation computer, which marks the move from valve technology to transistor based logic. It also defines the early use of Printed circuit Boards to implement the logic boards which are its building blocks and is also an example of the very early the use of Germanium transistors instead of the more common Silicon transistors in use today.
