Donald Willis' Manchester Mk 1 magnetic recording head
This magnetic recording head came from the Manchester Mk 1. Donald says: "I visited the computer group at Manchester University, I think in 1949/50, and Dr.Thomas gave me one of the recording heads from the Manchester Mk 1 magnetic drum. I found it in a box in the roof. I suppose I kept it because it was given to me from another group and was not otherwise available in the laboratory."
