A wonderful piece of work!
But this remark in the accompanying document did make me laugh:
> Another search on the internet yielded a small list of machines built by others. Several had electronic controllers controlling the mechanics. I can hear Mr. Turing say, “A computer running a computer. Whaaaat?”
I'm not sure Dr Turing would have expressed surprise in that manner, and even less sure that he would have been surprised that one computing machine could simulate the behaviour of another.
