Babbage’s Analytical Engine. In 1837, Babbage published a paper describing a mechanical computer. That device is now known as the Analytical Engine. It was to be made of brass and iron.

Modern experts have since built two replicas of Babbage's Difference Engine No. 2 on display in London's Science Museum and the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif.
