It would be nice to have an example of an Analytical Engine program that simulates a Turing machine. This would prove explicitly that the Analytical Engine is Turing-complete.
There would be some limitations.
The Engine has a finite memory, so it could only handle 1000 states and 1000 symbols, etc.
The user would have to explicitly specify an input string encoded as integers stored in memory using a sequence of number cards. This would mean hardcoding the memory locations of the Turing machine program and the input symbols.
The blank symbol would need to be represented by an integer.
