Wilkie [the name by which Wilkinson was known at that time] was able to cooperate as well as anyone with Turing, and had the tact and wisdom necessary to get things done.
In [9] Wilkinson describes the public demonstration of Pilot ACE in 1950, at which the machine, incredibly, ran much better and for much longer than it ever had before.
After the successful demonstration, Wilkinson realised for the first time that he would now be expected to do useful work on the Pilot ACE computer, which, until that moment, he had only though of as a means of convincing others that the ACE project had potential and should be continued.
