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. -

EVERT VAN ALPHEN Az ,,Door iemand iets te veel te geven, kan men hem zéér veel, zoniet alles ontnemen” Copie van het origineel doopbericht in het doopboek van de Prot. Kerk te Kortenge (Utr.) van 6 nov. 1691, betreffende de doop van Gijsbertie kint van Gerrit van Alpen, Molenaer aen de Haer ende Josijntie (zie hoe ,,van Alphen” is doorgekrast, en ,,Alpen” er direct als een verbetering achter is geplaatst). De door mij hierboven geplaatste tweeregelige zinspreuk wil zeggen, dat men door slechts één letter aan iemands geslachtsnaam toe te voegen, men hem zijn familienaam kan ontnemen. Op deze ene gewraakte letter werd wel terdege gelet in een doopinschrijving te Kockenge bij de doop van een kind van Gerrit van Alpen, korenmolenaar aan de Haer bij het kasteel Haarzuilens; gelijk we hierboven kunnen zien in het origineel ervan. Zoals hier blijkt, is de schrijfwijze ,,van Alphen” als naam voor ons geslacht eigenlijk niet juist, daar wij volgens velerlei gegevens ,,van Alpen” zijn genaamd. -

Sir William Siemens (1823–1883)
Sir William Siemens (1823–1883) Wilhelm Siemens (1823–1883), who changed his first name to William after moving to England, was born on April 4, 1823, in Lenthe near Hanover, Germany. He accompanied his older brother Werner von Siemens, who was then serving in the Prussian army, to Magdeburg, where he attended trade school. After dropping out of a practical engineering program in Magdeburg and abandoning the study of natural sciences at the University of Göttingen, William spent the spring and summer of 1843 in England. Here he succeeded in patenting the silver and gold-plating technique developed by Werner and selling the rights to the English company of Elkington for £1,600 or roughly 30,000 marks. This success not only helped the brothers out of major financial difficulties; it also encouraged William to consider moving to England. Werner supported the idea, and William traveled to England again in January 1844. However, the quick success of the previous year could not be immediately repeated. Only gradually did the situation improve. From 1849, William held a permanent position as an engineer in Birmingham. At the same time, he also worked on his own inventions, among them a water meter that later proved very successful. In 1850, William took over the management of the newly established agency of Siemens & Halske in London, although its beginnings were somewhat inauspicious. The manufacture and laying of submarine telegraph cables opened up new business opportunities. William’s good contacts with engineering circles and government authorities facilitated the otherwise difficult entry into the highly developed English telegraph market, where private operating companies were in competition with one another. -

The Philips Laboratory's X-Ray Department
Tensions within an Industrial Research Laboratory: The Philips Laboratory’s X-Ray Department between the Wars Downloaded from KEES BOERSMA Tensions arose in the X-ray department of the Philips research laboratory during the interwar period, caused by the interplay es.oxfordjournals.org among technological development, organizational culture, and in- dividual behavior. This article traces the efforts of Philips researchers to find a balance between their professional goals and status and the company’s strategy. The X-ray research, overseen by Gilles Holst, the laboratory’s director, and Albert Bouwers, the group leader for the X-ray department, was a financial failure despite at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on April 6, 2011 technological successes. Nevertheless, Bouwers was able to con- tinue his X-ray research, having gained the support of company owner Anton Philips. The narrative of the X-ray department allows us to explore not only the personal tensions between Holst and Enterprise & Society 4 (March 2003): 65–98. 2003 by the Business History Conference.
