Best Answer

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Augusta Ada King, nee Byron, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852) were both dead long before 1883 so they didn't invent any machine in that year.

Babbage did design an Analytical Engine and Ada Lovelace (as she is better known) wrote an 1843 note on the engine which included what is now recognised as being the first algorithm intended for processing by machine. She is therefore regarded as being the world's first programmer. The algorithm itself was intended to calculate Bernoulli numbers.

Babbage is also credited as being the father of the computer for his earlier work designing a Difference Engine and later work on Difference Engine No. 2. However, his designs were never built during his lifetime.

Two working models of his designs for Difference Engine No. 2 were built from 1989 to 1991. The earlier design is privately owned by Nathan Myhrvold while the later design resides at the London Science Museum.
