Economics and Professor Walter Newlyn of the University of Leeds for modelling
macro-economic systems. The machine and its descendents were highly
influential in the development of Keynesian economics in the 1950s, and are of
interest to economics, to historians of computing, and to historians of science
(hence the involvement of Mary Morgan in the program below).</SPAN></FONT></P>

Newlyn’s role in inventing the famous hydraulic model of the macro-economy known
as the Phillips Machine has often been overlooked, yet his contributions to the
machine’s design and creation were as important as those of Bill Phillips.
Phillips famously knew little economics, whereas Newlyn understood the
circulation of money from his participation in the pre-War commodities
market. This paper discusses how they combined their different expertises
- and their shared pleasure in getting things to work - to create the first
prototype, the Mark I machine, for Leeds (forerunner of the better-known Mark II
machine, an example of which is housed in the London Science
Museum).</SPAN></FONT></P>

objects of historical significance there is always a dynamic tension
