MICROSCAPE CITYSCAPE The Z1 was a mechanical computer designed by Konrad Zuse from 1935 to 1936 and built by him from 1936 to 1938. Like today's computers, the Z1 consisted of - an arithmetic unit - a memory unit - input and output units It was a binary electrically driven mechanical calculator with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched celluloid film. The Z1 was the first freely programmable computer in the world which used Boolean logic and binary floating-point numbers. It was completed in 1938 and financed completely from private funds. This computer was destroyed in the bombardment of Berlin in December 1943, during World War II, together with all construction plans. This reproduction was created in 1989 The Z1 was the first in a series of computers that Zuse designed. Its original name was "V1" for VersuchsModell 1 (meaning Experimental Model 1). After WW2, it was renamed "Z1" to differentiate from the flying bombs designed by Robert Lusser. #konradzuse #zuse #z1 #dsrerstecomputer #computer https://www.instagram.com/p/BsK4inWhUmK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kq69azjo795c
