Babbage, Charles (1792-1871)
Inventor of the calculating machines, the Difference Engines No 1 (1832) and 2 (1847-9), and his Analytical Engine (1834), ancestors of today’s computers. In 1906, his son, Henry Babbage, with the help of the firm of R. W. Munro, completed the “mill”, the equivalent of today’s CPU, of his father’s Analytical Engine, showing that it would have worked.
