Relay computerswhy so few 12 There were other relay calculators.
IBM produced two relay calculators for Aberdeen during the war
and it produced three more Aberdeen machines two used by the IBM
Watson Lab and one other used by the Navy were not as
programmable as some of the Bell machines (the most general
purpose Model V not finished until after the war was over) but
they could do 48 step sequences. Further afield Konrad Zuse made
relay computers both during and after the war. I believe that
his company released at least one relay computer in Germany
after the war apparently ending with the Z11 after which his
company made electronic machines. There were probably other
international manufacturers of relay machines and there were
certainly one off relay machines built all around the world.

power consumption. As mentioned, certain relays only use power
during actual switching. Other relays can operate... In terms of
simpler calculators all IBM mutlipl
