The Difference Publication 

A celebration of the Babbage legacy 1936-2011 

Charles Babbage was the pioneer of modern computing.  In 1821 he conceived a machine that would mechanise the production of mathematical tables.  He called it the Difference Engine and its design was one of the great scientific engineering feats of the 19th century.

Charles Babbage's legacy of challenge, innovation and invention is what underpins Babbage Consultants today.  Celebrate 75 years of excellence and innovation with us by requesting 'The Difference' publication.  This FREE commemorative Babbage book has been produced to celebrate the company and its work over the past three quarters of a century in New Zealand and overseas.
