1 Version 3, November 2011 E3X1 Delivery Lists and Applications of The
Version 3, November 2011 E3X1 Delivery lists and applications of the Elliott 800 series and 503 computers. The Elliott 803 and 503 computers were all software-compatible. The 802 was an early version of the 803 which was quickly overtaken. The 503 was the most powerful computer of the set. At about the same time as the Elliott 803 machines started to be sold in large numbers, Elliott-Automation began producing their ARCH series of process control systems. ARCH (the Articulated Control Hierarchy ) was designed as a modular system of standard analogue and digital sub-units sharing a common bus. The digital sections were usually standard Elliott 800 or 900 series computers. The idea was that tailor-made ARCH on-line installations could be configured to suit the particular industrial process(es) being controlled. In the delivery lists given below, a few of the machines entered as 803 computers may have been part of larger ARCH installations. The Panellit 609 was an Elliott 803 computer packaged for process control applications and marketed via a licencing arrangement with the Panellit Corporation of Skokie, Chicago. A small number of 800 series machines in the list below may have been re-badged as Panellit 609 computers. A word of warning about accuracy: it is now difficult to produce a definitive list of the delivery- dates, customers and applications of all 800 series Elliott computers manufactured at Borehamwood. Such source documents as are available (particularly references 1, 2 and 3 in section E3/X5) contain minor inconsistencies. The information given below is a best-guess, using additional information contained in reference 4. -

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. -

Pirelli Dunlop Union (1970-1981)
A T ROUBLED INTERNATIONAL MERGER PIRELLI DUNLOP UNION (1970-1981) Franco Amatori - Università Bocconi, Milan, Italy [email protected] Fabio Lavista - Università Bocconi, Milan, Italy [email protected] WORK IN PROGRESS Prepared exclusively for discussion in occasion of the EBHA Conference, Geneva, September 2007. Please do not cite. The Announcement On March 2, 1970 Sir Reay Geddes and Mr. Leopoldo Pirelli, the respective leaders of tire manufacturers Dunlop and Pirelli, each sent shareholders a letter with a very similar content, informing recipients that negotiations for a merger between the two corporations were at an advanced stage. In fact, by December extraordinary assemblies at each of the companies had officially decided to approve the merger between the two groups. The Pirelli Dunlop Union from this legal act was born a multinational enterprise that ranked number 3 in the rubber industry (behind American giants, Goodyear and Firestone). If in the early 70s Goodyear had a turnover of almost 3 billion dollars and Firestone could vaunt one of 2.1 billion, Dunlop-Pirelli’s combined turnover of slightly more than 2 billion preceded those of General Tyre (1 billion) and Michelin (900 million). The Anglo-Italian group employed 178,000 persons (76,000 were within Pirelli and the remaining 102,000 were with Dunlop). Dunlop-Pirelli was a global company present in all five continents. In the letters sent to shareholders in March 1970, Pirelli and Geddes had written that in the late 60s their companies results were to be considered satisfactory but in a climate of harsh international competition they had to do much more in terms of rate of growth and geographical and product diversification.
