It was to be a company outside the divisional structure, responsible for development of computers for non-data processing applications, including the existing Elliott 900 and Marconi Myriad computers; the English Electric 2140 and AEI Com-Pac computers would remain in production by the appropriate GEC-Elliott Automation businesses[2]
The company was created to handle the 4 computer designs that were not part of the portfolio transferred to ICL on its formation[3]
1971 Introduced the MECS 2050 computer system[4]
