Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd was an early computer company of the 1950s–60s in the United Kingdom. It traced its descent from a firm of instrument makers founded by (1780 or 1781-1853) in London around 1804. The research laboratories were originally set up in 1946 at Borehamwood and the first Elliott 152 computer appeared in 1950. In 1967, Elliott Automation was merged into the English Electric company and in 1968 the computer part of the company was taken over by International Computers and Tabulators (ICT).

  • Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd was an early computer company of the 1950s–60s in the United Kingdom. It traced its descent from a firm of instrument makers founded by (1780 or 1781-1853) in London around 1804. The research laboratories were originally set up in 1946 at Borehamwood and the first Elliott 152 computer appeared in 1950. In its day the company was very influential. The computer scientist Bobby Hersom was an employee from 1953-1954, and Sir Tony Hoare was an employee there from August 1960 to 1968. He wrote an ALGOL 60 compiler for the Elliott 803. He also worked on an operating system for the new Elliott 503 Mark II computer. The founder of the UK's first software house, Dina St Johnston, had her first programming job there from 1953–1958, and John Lansdown pioneered the use of computers as an aid to planning on an Elliott 803 computer in 1963. In 1966 the company established an integrated circuit design and manufacturing facility in Glenrothes, Scotland, followed by a metal–oxide semiconductor (MOS) research laboratory. In 1967, Elliott Automation was merged into the English Electric company and in 1968 the computer part of the company was taken over by International Computers and Tabulators (ICT). (en)

  • La Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd era una società produttrice di computer attiva durante gli anni cinquanta e sessanta nel Regno Unito, che si proponeva di ripercorrere il successo della società produttrice di strumenti fondata da William Elliott nel 1804 a Londra. Il laboratorio di ricerca era situato a Borehamwood e divenne operativo dal 1946. Il primo computer Elliot 152 venne presentato nel 1950. Per la società lavorò Tony Hoare che dall'agosto del 1960 e per gli otto anni successivi sviluppò un compilatore per l'Elliott 803. Hoare sviluppò anche il sistema operativo per il computer Elliott 503 Mark III, ma il modesto successo spinse la società ad abbandonarlo "dopo più di trent'anni di programmazione". fu pioniere nell'uso del computer come sistema di pianificazione, tramite l'Elliott 803 nel 1963 sviluppo il progetto di un edificio completo di servizi scale e dell'analisi della distribuzione della luce durante l'anno tramite il computer. Nel 1966 la società aprì una fabbrica per la produzione di circuiti integrati a in Scozia e in seguito anche il laboratorio di ricerca MOS. Il sito di Glenrothes fu chiuso nel 1969 dopo l'acquisizione da parte di English Electric, una controllata della General Electric Company. La Elliott Automation (nuova denominazione della società) si fuse con la English Electric nel 1967. La sezione riguardante l'elaborazione dati venne smembrata e fusa con la (ICT) nel 1968; l'acquisizione fu fortemente voluta dal governo Inglese che riteneva necessario avere una grande società di informatica nazionale, la nuova società prese il nome di (ICL). La parte riguardante i sistemi in tempo reale della Elliott Automation venne rinominata Marconi Elliott Computer Systems Limited nel 1969 e GEC Computer Limited nel 1972, la società rimase nei laboratori di Borehamwood fino agli anni novanta. L'accordo che governò la separazione delle società impediva alla ICT di sviluppare sistemi in tempo reale mentre la Elliott Automation non poteva occuparsi di sistemi di analisi di dati per alcuni anni dopo la separazione. Quello che rimase della Elliott Automation venne trattenuto dalla English Electric e produsse strumentazione e sistemi di controllo per aeroplani. (it)
  • エリオット・ブラザーズ (Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd.) は、1950年代から1960年代にかけて活動したイギリスの初期のコンピュータ企業。研究所は1946年、Borehamwood に開設された。最初のコンピュータ Elliott 152 は1950年に登場。 著名な計算機科学者アントニー・ホーアは、1960年8月から8年間エリオット・ブラザーズに勤務し、Elliott 803 向けのALGOL 60コンパイラを開発した。また、Elliott 503 Mark II 向けオペレーティングシステムの開発にも従事したが、これは成功とは言えず、「30人年以上のソフトウェア開発工数をかけ」た後に中止された(The Emperor's Old Clothes参照)。 John Lansdown は、コンピュータを利用したプランニングの先駆者である。1963年、Elliott 803 コンピュータ上でCADアプリケーションを開発し、透視図によって建物の配管やエレベータの配置を検討したり、年間の日照状態をプロットしたりといった活用法を考案した。 後に Elliott Automation に改称し、イングリッシュ・エレクトリック社と合併した。また、データ処理コンピュータ部門は、International Computers and Tabulators (ICT)に1968年に買収され、International Computers Limited(ICL)の一部となった。 (ja)
