John Graham-Cumming and Dr. Doron Swade of the Science Museum in London
have just announced plans to build an Analytical Engine. Previously, Dr.
Swade had lead the production of the Difference Engine, but this new
project will take 10 years and $10 million to build (I assume they've
secured guaranteed funding). Swade's book, The Cogwheel Brain/The
Difference Engine is a fascinating narrative of the creation of the
Difference Engine.
