{wiki=Z1_(computer)}
The Z1 is one of the earliest electromechanical computers, designed by German engineer Konrad Zuse. Completed in 1938, it was the first programmable computer and used binary floating-point arithmetic. The Z1 was constructed using metal sheets and electromechanical relays and operated with a combination of mechanical and electrical components. Although it was innovative for its time, the Z1 had several limitations, including reliability issues and a somewhat complex design.
