Abstract
Fifty years ago, a major injection of government funding allowed six UK universities to purchase commercially produced computers. The funding facilitated a significant increase in computing resources for science and engineering research in the UK. Two government agencies—the University Grants Committee and the Advisory Committee on High Speed Calculating Machines—played notable roles in this process.
