Abstract
1991 is the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Babbage[1], the great pioneer of digital computing. The event is being celebrated by a postage stamp, many small exhibitions, a major conference on computing organised by the IEE to be held at Imperial College in July, and a full-sized working version of Babbage's second difference engine now being assembled at the Science Museum.
