Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153
Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length. -

British Engineering in the Twentieth Century.doc Page 1 of 2 The British Thomson Houston company was formed in 1896, though its roots date back some ten years earlier. Manufacturing in the UK started in Rugby in March 1902 with a factory of 206,000 sq. ft. The plant produced its first turbo-alternator in 1905 and in 1907 BTH engaged in a joint venture with Wolseley Motors to construct petrol-electric buses. 1909 saw the Company involved in providing electrical equipment for the first trolley buses in London. From day one, the company was connected with the manufacture of incandescent lamps. In 1911 they obtained all the GE patents for drawn-wire tungsten filaments and the Mazda trade mark. Leading up to the Second World War, BTH was heavily involved in jet engine design and when the war began it manufactured magnetos, compressors, switchgear and was involved in the development of radar. On the 1st January 1960 BTH and Metropolitan Vickers were merged into AEI (Associated Electrical Industries Limited) and the BTH and MV names were lost forever in the world of electrical engineering. The American-owned firm British Westinghouse was responsible for the formation of Metropolitan-Vickers. MV was established in 1899 and located in Trafford Park, Manchester. This was an industrial area that became the focal point of many of MV’s activities. Metrovick was particularly successful in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and, in 1922 alone, provided £1 million worth of railway traction equipment to South Africa. The 1920s was a period of considerable development for Metrovick with technical advances in the manufacture of turbines, generators, switchgear and industrial motors. -
The Case of GEC/Marconi
The Effect of Corporate Restructuring on the Shareholders’ Value: The Case of GEC/Marconi Magdy Abdel-Kader1* and Vagia Mentzeniot2 1 Brunel Business School. Brunel University. Uxbridge. Middlesex UB8 3PH. UK * Corresponding author: Tel: +44 (0)1895 266739. Fax: +44 (0)1895 269775. Email: [email protected] 2 Finance Division, Piraeus Bank Group, Headquarters, Stadiou & Amerikis 4, Athens, 10557, Greece Abstract GEC/Marconi’s transformation from a diversified conglomerate to a focused telecommunications and information technology company was an eventful and rambling transmission that resulted in the deterioration of shareholders’ value. It represents one of the most dramatic falls from grace in British corporate history and one of the greatest corporate governance fiascos of all time. The study investigates the wealth effects of Marconi’s sell-offs and acquisitions on its shareholders’ value by calculating the abnormal returns on the announcement days of all the disposals/acquisition during 1996-2002. The results support the view that shareholders’ value increases when a company proceeds to corporate sell-offs to pursue a focus strategy. However, the authors conjecture that GEC/Marconi has destroyed shareholders’ value through these disposals/acquisitions because of several mistakes, such as being prone to heavy debt. © 2007 World Research Organization.

GEC Computers Ltd
V1 January 2015 GEC Computers Ltd. Origins. In 1968 the real-time computing interests of AEI, Elliott-Automation, English Electric, Marconi and GEC, were consolidated into a single company [ref. 1]. It traded initially as Marconi Elliott Computer Systems Ltd (MECS) and then, after 1971, as GEC Computers Ltd. English Electric obtained the non-computing products and the mainframe data processing products were transferred to ICT/ICL. MECS, and GEC Computers, were for many years based at Borehamwood, though the specialist aerospace computing activities were soon transferred to Marconi-Elliott Avionics Systems Ltd. at Rochester. Initially, the range of MECS computers was inherited from Marconi and Elliott-Automation and comprised the MYRIAD series, M2100 series (a small-scale 16-bit multiprocessor for real-time control]), and the 900 series (see below). About 50% of the applications for these computers were described as ‘military’. The other 50% was made up roughly equally of the following applications areas: Industrial, Laboratory, Marine, Education, Traffic control, Communications, Medical. The GEC 900 series of computers [refs. 2- 4], though first introduced in 1961, had a life extending into the 1980s with machines such as the 920ATC. By then developments had for several years been based firmly at Rochester, under various titles such as GEC-Marconi Avionics Ltd. and eventually BAE Systems. The 900 series is described elsewhere, in the Mainframes section of the Our Computer Heritage website. [ref. 2]. The GEC 2000 and 4000 families. By 1970 GEC Computers Ltd. was working at the Computer Research Laboratory (CRL), Borehamwood, on three new computer ranges. These were known internally as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. -

John Boyd Dunlop’s son complained that his solid tyre tricycle was uncomfortable and jarred as he rode along the stony streets on his way to school. John Boyd came up with the idea to wrap a rubber tyre inflated with air round the rims of his son’s tricycle and tested it by rolling it along the floor. The pneumatic tyre went much further compared to the solid tyre. John Boyd Dunlop had made history! 1888 Dunlop knew that his invention had endless potential and commercial possibilities. He patented his ‘chamber of rubber or other suitable material to contain air under pressure or otherwise, fastened to the rim by the most convenient method’ or, as we’ve come to know it, the tyre. In the years following this revolutionary invention, Dunlop has gone on to celebrate a dazzling history of performance innovation, motorsport achievements and technological advancements. 1890 Dunlop opened its first tyre plant in Dublin. 1924 Dunlop and Bentley achieve their first victory at Le Mans, the Grand Prix of Endurance. 1935 Dunlop officially opens its first tyre factory in Durban and manufactures the first car tyre in South Africa. -
Dunlop Rolls out a New Brand Platform
17th April 2016 Strong performance across all classes in WEC opener Podiums in every category with Dunlop entries Rebellion Racing third overall in first race on Dunlop tyres Dunlop had a very successful start to the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship 6 Hours of Silverstone race this weekend, taking two class wins and a total of eight podium finishes from a possible nine. Rebellion Racing took third place overall, the first time since 2013 that a non-factory car has taken a podium finish. The spotlight was on the LMP1 Private Team category where the three entrants have chosen to compete on Dunlop tyres for the 2016 season. The number 13 Rebellion Racing car finished third overall and won the class, despite starting from the back of the grid after a mechanical issue in qualifying. They were followed across the line by the sister number 12 Rebellion R-One-AER and the ByKolles CLM P1/01-AER which had a more troubled race. Attention was also on the three Aston Martin Racing Vantages competing in the LMGTE Pro and Am classes having also switched to Dunlop tyres for 2016. The number 95 car finished third in the ‘Pro’ class while the number 98 took the second step of the podium in ‘Am’. While the LMP2 class is also technically a tyre war, all competitors chose to race on Dunlop rubber. The class was won by the RGR Sport by Morand Mexican team on its debut race in the Championship but there was strong competition with ten lead changes throughout the six hour race.
