In 1939, John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry developed the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) at Iowa State University, which was regarded as the first electronic digital computer. The ABC was built by hand and the design used over 300 Vacuum Tubes and had capacitors fixed in a mechanically rotating drum for dynamic memory.

There are many computing firsts between 1940 and 1955.

What checks should be made when carrying out a performance test on an unvented central heating system?

Unless it's electric, it HAS to be vented... If it's not vented it's in violation to UBC. It might be one of the newer furnaces that uses a high efficiency heat exchanger and the exhaust is vented through a plastic pipe, but it's still vented. Assuming you have one of those, just replace the air filter and see if there is any way to oil the motor. Everything else should be computer controlled.
