TURING'S ONLY PUBLISHED WORK ON THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTING ENGINE. 'It required [National Physical Laboratory] permission for him to publish. KCC [Turing archive, King's Coll., Cambridge] contains a letter from Sir Charles Darwin to Turing, dated 11 November 1947, acknowledging the copy submitted to him for approval. "I must say that I read it through with some attention and interest, but spent most of my time cursing you for giving me a perfectly smudgy copy to read. Next time I hope somebody else and not myself [will] be the sufferer, but I think the best plan would be to get some better carbon paper"' (Hodges p. 560 n6.47).
