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. -
THE PROVISION of WIDE-AREA NETWORKING FACILITIES Dr
- 240 - THE PROVISION OF WIDE-AREA NETWORKING FACILITIES Dr Barrie J Charles Joint Network Team of the Computer Board and Research Councils, c/o Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, CHILTON, Didcot, Oxon 0X11 OQX, UK ABSTRACT The academic community in the United Kingdom is currently engaged in an extensive programme to provide comprehensive networking facilities within and among the 47 universities and numerous research institutions in the British Isles. The programme is described and the possible provision of similar facilities on an international scale discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION Since the 1960s, funds for large scale computers in universities and academic research institutes in the United Kingdom have been provided centrally through organisations reporting to the Department of Education and Science. This central funding made possible the establishment of national or regional facilities designed to handle the needs of users which could not be met by an institution's local computing equipment. The distance between these users and the central machines encouraged the early establishment of data communication facilities. Today the primary requirements for wide-area networks are seen as: access to large national or regional centres; facility or resource sharing between sites; database access; electronic mail; software distribution; a tool for multi-site scientific collaborations; a means for the itinerant worker to access his home base. Many of these activities are also now becoming practical internationally and local networks are seen as satisfying similar requirements on a smaller geographical scale. - 241 - HISTORY During the early to mid 1970s many separate networks were set up in the UK academic community. These were based either on the packet- switching techniques made popular by the advent of the ARPA network in the United States or on proprietary RJE protocols such as IBM HASP, CDC 200UT or ICL 7020. -
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.

The Kermit File Transfer Protocol
THE KERMIT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Frank da Cruz February 1985 This is the original manuscript of the Digital Press book Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, ISBN 0-932976-88-6, Copyright 1987, written in 1985 and in print from 1986 until 2001. This PDF file was produced by running the original Scribe markup-language source files through the Scribe publishing package, which still existed on an old Sun Solaris computer that was about to be shut off at the end of February 2016, and then converting the resulting PostScript version to PDF. Neither PostScript nor PDF existed in 1985, so this result is a near miracle, especially since the last time this book was "scribed" was on a DECSYSTEM-20 for a Xerox 9700 laser printer (one of the first). Some of the tables are messed up, some of the source code comes out in the wrong font; there's not much I can do about that. Also (unavoidably) the page numbering is different from the printed book and of couse the artwork is missing. Bear in mind Kermit protocol and software have seen over 30 years of progress and development since this book was written. All information herein regarding the Kermit Project, how to get Kermit software, or its license or status, etc, is no longer valid. The Kermit Project at Columbia University survived until 2011 but now it's gone and all Kermit software was converted to Open Source at that time. For current information, please visit the New Open Source Kermit Project website at http://www.kermitproject.org (as long as it lasts). -

It was derived from earlier variations in the name and incorporation, spanning a period from Former type Private company its inception in 1897 until 2006, during which time it underwent numerous Industry Telecommunications changes, mergers and acquisitions. The company was founded by the Italian Fate Acquired by GEC inventor Guglielmo Marconi and began as the Wireless Telegraph & (1968) Signal Company. The company was a pioneer of wireless long distance Renamed to GEC- communication and mass media broadcasting, eventually becoming one of the Marconi Ltd UK's most successful manufacturing companies. In 1999, its defence (1987) manufacturing division, Marconi Electronic Systems, merged with British Predecessor Wireless Telegraph Aerospace to form BAE Systems. In 2006, extreme financial difficulties led to & Signal Company the collapse of the remaining company, with the bulk of the business acquired (1897–1900) by the Swedish telecommunications company, Ericsson.
