Konrad Zuse creates one of the first electromechanical relay computers the Z2. It used electrical switches to drive mechanical relays to preform calculations
Zuse followed his earlier machine up with the Z3, the world's first working electromechanical programmable, fully automatic digital computer with 2000 relays, implementing a 22 bit word length that operated at a clock frequency of about 5–10 Hz.Data could be stored in 64 words of memory or supplied from the keyboard. It was similar to modern machines in some respects, with numerous advances such as floating point numbers. Rather than the decimal system, using a binary system meant that Zuse's machines wer
