Charles Babbage's difference engine was completed posthumously by a team led by engineer and inventor John Harrison and funded by the British government. The project was revived in the 1990s by the Science Museum in London, which successfully constructed a working model of the difference engine based on Babbage's original designs. This completed machine, known as Difference Engine No. 2, demonstrated Babbage's pioneering work in computing.
