In spite of the modern reliance of Banking and Insurance on IT, The City of London did not have a computer until 1960. Ernest Morris, Past President BCS , got in touch to say, “You might be interested to know that in 1960 C.T.
Bowring & Co, a Lloyds Insurance Broker, installed an ICT 1202 computer in The Minories, and replaced it in 1965 with a Honeywell 400 computer which was installed in Tower Place (now occupied by Marsh, which took over CTB some time ago).
I was the manager responsible for that, and have always felt that perhaps that the 1202 was the first computer in the City.”
As a pioneering researcher in systems biology, Denis Noble, now Professor emeritus and co-director of Computational Physiology at the University of Oxford, developed the first computer model of the working human heart.
Denis used the night shift on a Ferranti Mercury computer to develop his model, since which, the use of software to simulate biological organs has expanded hugely and enabled the development of life saving treatments.
