Thank You for reading my question and replying to it.
This is the answer to your question,(What exactky do you mean by an "ABC"
computer).

Dr. John V. Atanasoff and Cliford Berry designed and built the first
electronic digital computer.Their machine, the Atanasoff-Berry-Computer, or
ABC, provides the foundation for advances in electronic digital computers.
