I had anticipated opening my first full edition of “From the Editor’s Desk” with a personal message—an introduction to me for you, the reader. However, in preparation for writing this, I went back over every previous editor in chief’s first introduction and noted that nearly all put the issue first, leaving themselves till the end. Suitably chastened, I shall follow suit.

John Ronald Womersley, first superintendent of the Mathematics Division created at the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in 1945, is best known to historians of computing for appointing Alan Turing to lead a project to design an electronic digital computer. Although Turing dissociated himself from the project in 1947, and Womersley left the NPL in 1950, the NPL’s Electronic Division completed the Pilot ACE computer in 1951 [10]. This machine is remembered for its unique design and excellent performance, but Womersley has received little credit for this achievement, often being dismissed as a second-rate mathematician who did not effectively lead the project he had started.
约翰-罗纳德-沃姆斯利(John Ronald Womersley)是英国国家物理实验室(NPL)1945 年成立的数学部的第一任主管,他因任命阿兰-图灵领导一个设计电子数字计算机的项目而为计算机史学家所熟知。虽然图灵在 1947 年退出了该项目,沃姆斯利也在 1950 年离开了 NPL,但 NPL 的电子部还是在 1951 年完成了 Pilot ACE 计算机[10]。这台计算机因其独特的设计和卓越的性能而被人们所铭记,但沃姆斯利却很少因这一成就而获得赞誉,他常常被认为是一个二流数学家,没有有效地领导他所启动的项目。

The stepping switch, also known as a uniselector or rotary switch (Figure 1), was a transformative 19th-century technology that provided a step into the future, initially by enabling direct telephone dialing and, unexpectedly, online, real-time, networked computation, among other applications.
