The Pilot ACE computer
After the war Turing moved to London where he began working at the government's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) on the design for the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE). His paper on the ACE influenced much of the design of modern computers and contributed to the creation of the Pilot Ace computer, one of the first computers to be built in the United Kingdom.
