The Harwell computer, also known as the Harwell Dekatron Computer, was one of the earliest electronic computers in the United Kingdom. It was developed in the 1950s at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, Oxfordshire. The computer was designed primarily for scientific computations and was notable for its use of a unique technology known as dekatrons, which were gas-filled tubes used for counting and switching.
