  • 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.

Kozak University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee [email protected] Word count (not including abstract): 5001 Abstract Access to infrastructure is a perennial issue in the field of communication, which started in the era of postal services and continues to the present era of broadband networks. As infrastructures, or large- scale systems, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are central to citizens’ political, economic, and social lives. Historically and today, a variety of factors such as political and regulatory decisions impact access to infrastructure. Current concerns about equitable access include the network neutrality. Keywords: access, communication and public policy, history of media and communications, information and communication technology, media convergence, media law and policy, media regulation.

  • Inventing the Communications Revolution in Post-War Britain
    Information and Control: Inventing the Communications Revolution in Post-War Britain Jacob William Ward UCL PhD History of Science and Technology 1 I, Jacob William Ward, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis undertakes the first history of the post-war British telephone system, and addresses it through the lens of both actors’ and analysts’ emphases on the importance of ‘information’ and ‘control’. I explore both through a range of chapters on organisational history, laboratories, telephone exchanges, transmission technologies, futurology, transatlantic communications, and privatisation. The ideal of an ‘information network’ or an ‘information age’ is present to varying extents in all these chapters, as are deployments of different forms of control. The most pervasive, and controversial, form of control throughout this history is computer control, but I show that other forms of control, including environmental, spatial, and temporal, are all also important. I make three arguments: first, that the technological characteristics of the telephone system meant that its liberalisation and privatisation were much more ambiguous for competition and monopoly than expected; second, that information has been more important to the telephone system as an ideal to strive for, rather than the telephone system’s contribution to creating an apparent information age; third, that control is a more useful concept than information for analysing the history of the telephone system, but more work is needed to study the discursive significance of ‘control’ itself. 3 Acknowledgements There are many people to whom I owe thanks for making this thesis possible, and here I can only name some of them.

Police have found the burial ground for 35,000 pieces of mail in Belfair, Washington. The mailman says he did it because he didn't like his job and he wanted to spend his days at a local tavern instead of working.

  • Private Telegraph Companies
    November 2010 Private Telegraph Companies The development of the telegraph system in the United Kingdom closely followed the growth of the railways with telegraph offices often being located at stations. A close relationship also existed between the two sets of companies with a great deal of crossover of names in the lists of shareholders and directors. The Government allowed the network to develop under private ownership and did not intervene significantly in its running. This was in sharp contrast to the telegraph system on the Continent which had been under state ownership since its inception.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 17, 2013, Designation List 470 LP-2552 BRONX GENERAL POST OFFICE LOBBY, FIRST FLOOR INTERIOR, consisting of the lobby and the fixtures and components of this space, including but not limited to, the wall surfaces, murals, wainscoting, ceiling surfaces, floor surfaces, columns, plaque, metal gate and globe lighting fixtures, 560 Grand Concourse (aka 554-582 Grand Concourse), Bronx. Built: 1935-37; Architect: Thomas Harlan Ellett; Murals: 1938-39, Ben Shahn and Bernarda Bryson. Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx, Tax Map Block 2443, Lot 400. On October 29, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Bronx General Post Office Lobby, First Floor Interior and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Public Hearing Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. Four people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of Congressman José E. Serrano and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., as well as representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. There were no speakers in opposition to the designation. The Commission also received thirteen letters and emails in support of designation. Summary The Bronx General Post Office Building and its notable interior lobby were planned and constructed between 1934-37. The architectural design was executed by Thomas Harlan Ellett. The space contains a series of 13 mural panels created by noted artists Ben Shahn and Bernarda Bryson. In the early 20th century—as the Bronx was becoming one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the country—it became apparent that the borough needed improved postal facilities.
