The discovery of 19 detailed circuit diagrams(电路图) of the computer in June 2014 was an unexpected surprise — the engineers had been relying on pictures to help them with the rebuilding. Now, there is more good news for the EDSAC team. When Robert Little read about the EDSAC project, he realized he had a small part of this computer in his garage. Little had obtained it in 1969 from Dr. Robert Clark — a scientist at Cambridge, Massachusetts, who was using the EDSAC racks(架子 EDSAC was designed to help mathematicians and scientists do complex calculations quickly. Until EDSAC, a few computers had been built for specific purposes such as military use. EDSAC was built by a team led by Sir Maurice Wilkes. Wilkes was inspired by the theories of John von Neumann, a brilliant mathematician. In 1945, Neumann had suggested that the future of computing lay on computers that could store instructions (programs) and data. EDSAC first appeared in 1949. It was a little over 6 feet tall and took up the space of 13×16 square feet room. It performed 650 instructions per second, while today’s computers like the Intel i7 can do 92 billion instructions per second! At the heart of computers are hundreds of millions of tiny electronic devices called transistors (晶体管). Like your brain cells, these transistors control the computer’s operation. Each transistor can be in one of the two states — either ON or OFF, depending on what the program asks it to do. But before transistors came along, scientists had to use vacuum tubes to do the same — turn ON or OFF. Vacuum tubes are nothing but glass bulbs with air removed, creating a vacuum. Three plates inside this bulb control the flow of the current(气流) to put this bulb in ON or OFF state. The EDSAC team is using them to rebuild the first computer. 1．According to the text, Robert Little . A. found 19 deta
