Became very popular and Disney ordered eight of the next model (200B) for Fantasia.]]> 2023-01-25 13:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/28cookc/meoslcdpfx4ll8x8/wish/2456117137 The Complex Numbers Calculator is Completed-1940 28cookc https://padlet.com/28cookc/meoslcdpfx4ll8x8/wish/2456123408 It was completed in 1939 and showed at a event on 1940.
People were shocked when they used it and was sending calculations remotely to NYC.
First example of remote access computer. ]]> 2023-01-25 13:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/28cookc/meoslcdpfx4ll8x8/wish/2456123408 Z3 Computer-1941 28cookc https://padlet.com/28cookc/meoslcdpfx4ll8x8/wish/2456135792 It was created by Konrad Zuse.
It uses 2,300 relays, performs floating binary arithmetics, and has 22 bit word length.
Used for aerodynamic calculations 
It was destroyed during a bombing.
Later reconstructed in the 60s.

Multiple were made with using at most 2,500 vacuum tubes. They were very successful of figuring out codes quickly. ]]> 2023-02-03 13:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/28cookc/meoslcdpfx4ll8x8/wish/2467531213
