Original white printed wrappers. Signed by Wilkes on the front wrapper. 337-345 [1]pp. 281 x 217 mm. Provenance: Maurice Wilkes. Fine. First edition, offprint issue. A description of the experimental magnetic-tape storage system developed for EDSAC, which was the direct ancestor of the magnetic tape units on EDSAC 2. Spurred by the work then being done in the United States on the use of magnetic tape for computer purposes, Wilkes became the first in Britain to pursue this line of research. "After some initial experiments I designed, with the help of the workshop staff, a magnetic tape unit of advanced specification. The tape was moved at 100 inches per second by means of a pair of pneumatic capstans, one for each direction. . . . I had as a collaborator in this work D. W. Willis who had been on our staff in the early days and who had now rejoined the Laboratory. . . . We connected an early version of the tape unit to EDSAC 1 via a shift register. The system did not work particularly well and contributed little to the operation of the machine. It did, however, enable some practical experience to be obtained. In due course, Willis joined Decca Radar, taking with him the knowledge he had acquired while with us, and the result was the Decca twin tape unit. We purchased two of these for the EDSAC 2, giving us four tape positions in all, and they gave very good service" (Wilkes 1985, 190). Wilkes 1999, no. 40. Origins of Cyberspace 1037.

"Two approaches are possible to the problem of designing circuits which will continue to function correctly even if some of the elements of which they are composed become unserviceable.

Wilkes, Maurice Vincent (1913- ). A method of solving second order simultaneous linear differential equations using the Mallock machine. Offprint from Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society 36, part II (April 1940). Original buff printed wrappers. Signed by Wilkes on the front wrapper. [1], 204-208 [2]pp. 257 x 184 mm. Provenance: Maurice Wilkes. First edition, offprint issue. Wilkes directed the design and construction of EDSAC, the first readily usable, full-scale stored-program computer. EDSAC was preceded in operation by the Manchester "Baby"prototype stored-program machine which ran for only a short time in 1948; in America, BINAC was probably running programs about the same time, but it too was a very short-lived machine. In addition to developing EDSAC, Wilkes was responsible for a number of programming innovations, such as labels, macros, and microprogramming, that became standard in the computer industry. He studied physics at Cambridge University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1936 with a thesis based on work performed in the Cavendish Laboratory on the propagation of very long radio waves in the ionosphere. While engaged in postgraduate research on this topic, he was allowed to use Cambridge University's model differential analyzer to solve a difficult equation. This machine, which Wilkes found "irresistible" (Wilkes 1985, 25), inspired an abiding interest in automatic computing. At the end of 1936, Wilkes was put in charge of Cambridge's model differential analyzer, and the following year he joined the staff of the university's newly founded Mathematical Laboratory, becoming its director after the close of World War II. The Mathematical Laboratory (renamed the Computing Laboratory in the 1960s) played a critical role in the development of the electronic digital computer. One of Wilkes's tasks during 1937 was to gather information about the special-purpose calculating machine invented by R. R. M. Mallock (of Cambridge's Engineering Department), which the Mathematical Laboratory was interested in purchasing. Wilkes described the machine as follows: The Mallock machine was an analogue device and was capable of solving ten simultaneous linear equations in ten unknowns. It was based on the use of tapped transformers with the windings connected to form a network. The accuracy obtainable from such an arrangement might be expected to be very low because of losses in the transformers. What made the Mallock machine give a useful accuracy-one part in 1000 in favourable cases-was the use of a highly ingenious feedback circuit, known as a compensator, associated with each transformer. As a piece of electronics, this was well ahead of its time. . . . In order to solve a set of simultaneous equations, one had first to set the coefficients on an array of digital switches. The roots were then obtained by adjusting another switch until a galvanometer showed zero. This had to be done for each root in turn. When I got to know him, Mallock was experimenting with a device based on the use of telephone relays for performing this operation automatically and printing the result on a paper strip. Although this gear came with the Mallock machine, it was not fully developed and we made no attempt to use it. However, it gave me my first introduction to the use of telephone relays in computing, or rather control, circuits and to some of the tricks one can play with them (Wilkes 1985, 29).

First Edition, One of No More Than 100 Copies Issued. The first report on how to program an operational stored-program computerâ "Cambridge University's EDSAC, the world's second stored-program computer and the first to be truly usable for large-scale operations. The machine was constructed at the University's Mathematical Laboratory (now the Computer Laboratory) by Maurice Wilkes, who was inspired by John von Neumann's account of the EDVAC; it ran its first program on 6 May 1949. The Report on the Preparation of Programmes for the EDSAC was prepared by Wilkes and a fifteen-man team of researchers at the Mathematical Laboratory, and distributed to no more than one hundred peopleâ ""everyone we thought would be interested, both in the United Kingdom and abroad" (Wilkes, Memoirs of a Computer Pioneer, p. 149). The material in this dittoed report was published with very few changes in Wilkes, Wheeler, and Gill's Preparation of Programs for an Electronic Digital Computer (1951). This copy bears the ownership stamp of mathematician John Todd, professor of mathematics at Caltech and pioneer of numerical analysis and high-speed computer programming.
