Computing

Z3 The third computer designed and built by Konrad Zuse and the first computer to successfully run real programs. The computer was ready in 1941, five years before ENIAC. Zuse began his work on program-driven calculating machines in 1935. His two predessors of the Z3, the Z1 and Z2, were unsuccessful mechanical calculating machines. The Z3 was delivered to the Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt (German Experimental Department of Aironautics) in Berlin and was used for deciphering coded messages. In 1998, there may still be models of Z3 in museums [where?]. The Z3 used about 2600 relays of the kind used in telecommunications. Zuse wrote and implemented the language Plankalkül on the Z3. Programs were punched into cinefilm. Zuse built some more computers after World War II, including the Z3's successor, the Z4, which was set up at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. [Features?

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Konrad Zuse's computer Z3 was the first working freely programmable, fully automatic machine, which are the criteris for a computer. It was built with relays, had a clock frequency of 5.33 Hz and was completed in 1941.

The original Z3 was destroyed in 1944 during a bombardment. A fully functioning replica was built in the 1960s by the Zuse KG and is on permanent display in the Deutsches Museum.
