The speed of progress attained in building the machine was comparable with that envisioned in Alan's original proposal.
建造机器的进度明显加快了，快到可以与图灵最初的展望相媲美。
By mid-1949, they had a delay line working and the wiring of the control was finished in October.
到了1949年中期，他们的延迟线可以工作了，10月，控制电路也完工了。
The machine, the 'Pilot ACE', was based on the Turing 'Version V', just as Huskey's premature effort had been.
ACE原型机，是基于图灵设计的第五个版本，另外还有哈斯基的一些草率的改动。
It retained the 'distributed' processing that distinguished it from the von Neumann system which used an accumulator.
它仍然采用“分布式”的处理过程，与冯·诺伊曼的累加器不同。
Meanwhile, Sir Charles Darwin retired in 1949, Max Newman took the view that he had done Darwin a good turn in taking Alan away, and Alan would agree with this.
在这个时候，查尔斯·达尔文爵士退休了，M·纽曼认为，他把图灵带走，是帮了达尔文一个大忙，图灵自己可能也是这么想的。
When he went to the official opening of the Pilot ACE in November 1950, he was particularly generous in telling Jim Wilkinson how much better they had done than would have been possible had he stayed.
1950年11月，图灵去参加ACE原型机的运行仪式，他大度地称赞威尔金森，说他们做得非常棒，比他在的时候更棒。
Certainly, the Pilot ACE would not have been possible at all had not Alan gone.
当然，如果图灵不走，这台原型机根本就不可能造出来。
But he must also have known that it represented only a shadow of his original vision.
但是他一定也知道，跟他最初的设计相比，这台原型机简直不足挂齿。
Womersley managed to rewrite the history of the ACE project after Alan had left.
图灵离开之后，ACE项目变成了沃默斯利的辉煌。
For it was Womersley's story that Colebrook gave to the Executive Committee meeting on 13 November 1949: Mr Colebrook then referred to the organisational history of the Automatic Computing Engine project.
在1949年11月13日的执行委员会会议上，克尔布鲁克把这个项目完全讲成了沃默斯利的故事：克尔布鲁克先生接着谈到了自动计算引擎项目的组织历史。
The work on this originated with Dr Turing's paper ... On Computable Numbers with an Application to the Entscheidung Problem(sic) and Mr Womersley began thinking about the logical design in 1938 after reading Dr Turing's paper and after discussions with Professor Hartree.
这项研究起源于图灵博士的论文……《可计算数及其在可判定性问题中的应用》，1938年，沃默斯利先生在参考了这篇论文，并与哈特里教授讨论之后，便开始思考这台机器的逻辑设计。
Mr Womersley came to the Laboratory early in 1944, and the following year visited the United States to see the Harvard and ENIAC machines.
沃默斯利先生于1944年早期来到本实验室，并于次年前往美国考察了哈佛机和ENIAC。
