The pin is the submission, which is the dated act; the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society issue carrying it is dated 1937.

  Alan Turing submits "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem" to the London Mathematical Society. It defines the abstract machine that became the model for every computer built since, and proves the Entscheidungsproblem undecidable.
