CPU of the Analytical Engine
A
Bank
B
Mill
C
Store
D
Mile
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mill was the calculating unit, analogous to the central processing unit (CPU) in a modern computer; the store was where data were held prior to processing, exactly analogous to memory and storage in today’s computers; and the reader and printer were the input and output devices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Analytical Engine generally considered the first mechanical computer designed by Charles Babbage in 1837. It was one of the most successful achievements of him. His Analytical Engine has Four different components or parts. These components are the reader, the store, the mill, and the printer.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1835, Charles Babbage created plans his Analytical Engine. Babbage’s machine had many of the components of a modern computer: a control unit (punched card control), memory (the store), a processor (the mill), an input device (card reader), and an output device (a printer).

Detailed explanation-4: -Analytical Engines can solve any set of calculations with the help of a processor, punch cards, and a bunch of codes. While the difference engine is a mechanical calculator that was designed to calculate polynomial functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Analytical Engine The Engine had a ‘Store’ where numbers and intermediate results could be held, and a separate ‘Mill’ where the arithmetic processing was performed. It had an internal repertoire of the four arithmetical functions and could perform direct multiplication and division.
