Early Von Neumann-architecture Computers
The First Draft described a design that was used by many universities and corporations to construct their computers. Among these various computers, only ILLIAC and ORDVAC had compatible instruction sets.
- Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), nicknamed "Baby" (University of Manchester, England) made its first successful run of a stored-program on June 21, 1948.
- EDSAC (University of Cambridge, England) was the first practical stored-program electronic computer (May 1949)
- Manchester Mark 1 (University of Manchester, England) Developed from the SSEM (June 1949)
- CSIRAC (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) Australia (November 1949)
- ORDVAC (U-Illinois) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland (completed November 1951)
- IAS machine at Princeton University (January 1952)
- MANIAC I at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (March 1952)
- ILLIAC at the University of Illinois, (September 1952)
- AVIDAC at Argonne National Laboratory (1953)
- ORACLE at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (June 1953)
- JOHNNIAC at RAND Corporation (January 1954)
- BESK in Stockholm (1953)
- BESM-1 in Moscow (1952)
- DASK in Denmark (1955)
- PERM in Munich (1956?)
- SILLIAC in Sydney (1956)

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or von:
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
“When women reach the age of maturity, Mother Nature sometimes overworks their frustration to the point of irrationalism. Like the middle-aged man...who finds himself looking longingly at a girl in her early twenties.”
—Mark Hanna, and Nathan Hertz. Dr. Von Loeb (Otto Waldis)
