Babbage's Difference Engine

The model of Babbage's Difference Engine at the computer museum will not be going away when the Visible Storage exhibit is closed.

I found a book in the gift shop about Ada Lovelace. The first computer program is generally considered to be Section G of her appended notes to the translation of "Sketch of the Analytic Engine" by L. F. Menabrea.
