NUSSE was the Norsk Universell Siffermaskin, Selvstyrt, Elektronisk computer which was a copy of the UK Birkbeck College design possibly the first clone in the world circa 1952-1954.

There are two references in UK books by A. D. Booth to this computer, 1. "Automatic Digital Computers" 1953 chap 35 p270 "Up to the present, two copies of APE(x) are in existence. The first at the Norwegian Board of Computing Machines, Oslo, under the direction of Dr. T. Hysing, is undergoing tests. The second is in general use at the laboratories of the British Tabulating Machines Company." 2. "Faster than Thought" chap 13
