Click "Updates" above to see the latest. Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) is widely credited as the first computer scientist and Charles Babbage (1791-1871) is best remembered for originating the concept of a programmable computer. Together they collaborated on Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Whilst never fully built in their lifetime, Lovelace's notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine.
Because of this, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer. December 10th 2015 marks the 200th anniversary of Ada’s birth. This project would be a fitting commemoration for her bicentenary and hopefully inspire a whole new generation of computer programmers. The monochromatic brick palette helps to evoke a Victorian atmosphere and the engine itself is decorated with cogs, chains and pistons for a steampunk aesthetic. There is also capacity for the model to house a mini-computer such as the Raspberry Pi v2.0 single-board computer (optional and not included). Just in case the Lovelace and Babbage minifigures get a little tired from all their hard work, there is an afternoon tea party for them to enjoy (Victoria sponge included). Help Ada Junior with her maths homework in the miniature classroom, but just make sure the creepy bat doesn't steal her beloved teddy bear. Using LEGO we can finally complete their marvellous vision for the Analytical Engine and build the world's first mechanical general-purpose computer!
Charles and Ada minifigures (inc. spanners) ooden desk, inkwell, blackboard, duster, clock, creepy bat, parquet flooring, Ada Junior minifigure, rucksack and ) 'Babbage Tea Party' (Victoria sponge, cake stand, tea cups, saucers, candlestick, table and chairs) I would like to dedicate this LEGO Ideas project to my late father David Alexander Cromar, who started his career off as a mechanical engineer. He bought our first family computer, a Commodore VIC-20, in 1981 and nurtured my love for technology every day thereafter. Many thanks for looking at my 'Lovelace & Babbage' concept, if you like it, please take a few of moments to lend it your support.

Also called the 'pat pend period'. In 1949 the first plastic Automatic Binding Bricks are made, the predecessors of the modern LEGO. In 1974 the first LEGO Mom is made. Until 1974 there were just bricks (and flags, trees, trains, etc) with which houses and cities could be build, but no people to live in these houses and cities. Beyond 1974 LEGO is developing enormously. With many different types of minifig and themes like pirates, space, technic, etc. Pat pend stands for patent pending, or patent in request. In 1958 patent is requested on the stud-tube-technic which we see today in all the bricks. Because of this patent the specific gripsystem, with which the LEGO bricks stick together but can also be seperated again, it cannot be duplicated by others (read: competitors). This patent is granted in 1962. Much parts until approximately 1974 has the words 'pat pend' printed on the plastic. That is why this period is also called the pat pend period.
Symbolical, pat pend stands for sets released in that period. These sets are (obviously) completely of partly build from 'pat pend' LEGO. The exact boundary is not known. Set 393, the Norton Motorcylce, for example, is released in 1976 and contains at least 3 non'pat pend' LEGO parts. The arch 1 x 4 in black, and the two parts of the steering-hinge in red.. Others sets, like the 644, the Police Mobil Patrol, released in 1978 contained subtantially non-'pat pend' LEGO, but it did have pat pend (obscured) plates in black. (That is my personal version from back then.) During this period-transfer, from pat pend to modern if you like, new produced (non pat pend) LEGO is used in combination with (probably) stock supplies of older pat pend LEGO. This supply was of course used and not thrown away. Some LEGO parts have a kind of stain printed, at the place where before 'pat pend' would be printed. As if the words 'pat pend' have been obscured.
This is a distinguishing mark of LEGO in the transferperiod from pat pend to modern. Not all old LEGO has the words 'pat pend' printed. Many parts simply did not have room for it. Nevertheless these parts from the pat pend period can be recognized. First because these parts are not produced any more, but in this period only. Second because these parts have 'moulding-pip' on the side. A moulding-pip, is the place where the opening of the mould was. Modern bricks have the moudling-pip on one of the studs, a place where it does attract attention the least. Older bricks have the moulding-pip on the side. By itself the moulding-pip has nothing to do with pat pend, these two things are completely seperated. However, modern bricks with the moulding-pip on a stud, are produced starting approximately 1974. At first very few parts but later on many more. Between 1974 and 1979 sets did have mixed bricks. Beyond 1980 sets did have modern bricks only.
