Charles Babbage actually designed a fully programmable mechanical computer in 1837, but it was never built.
The British Science Museum built his #2 engine about 20 years ago. No, never built when it was relevant :P
Yes, but the design that they built wasn’t one of his designs for a general purpose computer.
