This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Edward "Ted" A. Newman (born 1918, died 1996) was born in Walthamstow. He graduated from University College London in 1938 with a B.Sc. in Physics. After working on the digital (pulsed) electronics of the H2S airborn radar system, he joined the National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom) in 1947. He helped develop Alan Turing’s ideas for general purpose stored-program computer, leading to the design of the Pilot ACE.
Like Turing, he was a keen runner, and the two met up regularly in Manchester to train together, and to have lively discussions on the prospect of machine intelligence.[1]
In the early 1980s, he was appointed visiting professor at the Department of Computer Science of Westfield College London until just before the closure of the college in 1989, and gave occasional lectures during his time there.
