Part of a multipage presentation on the history of computers. This page talks about the development of the EDVAC machine. ... EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was to be a vast improvement upon ENIAC. Mauchly and Eckert started working on it two years before ENIAC even went into operation.

Building such a machine posed considerable engineering challenges, and EDVAC would not be the first to clear the hurdles. That honor was claimed in the spring of 1949 by a 3,000-tube stored-program computer dubbed EDSAC, the creation of British mathematical engineer Maurice Wilkes, of Cambridge University.
