| | Ferranti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ferranti is also famous in the computer industry for building the second commercial computer, the Ferranti Mark I, which went on sale in 1949 and started their computer business which lasted into the 1970s. | | | In the late 1940s Ferranti joined with various university-based research groups to develop computers. | | | By this time Ferranti's own computer division had been merged into International Computers and Tabulators (ICT) in 1963. |

| | Ferranti Mark I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Ferranti Mark I was the second commercially available general-purpose computer (the first one being the German Z4), with the first machine delivered in February 1951, just beating the UNIVAC I. | | | The Manchester Mark I effectively served as a prototype for the Ferranti Mark I; the main improvements over it were in the size of the primary storage and secondary storage, a faster multiplier, and additional instructions. | | | The revisions mainly cleaned up the instruction set for better usability. |

| | FP-6000 -- From DATAR To The FP-6000 |
| | Ferranti Canada's design approach was to make all aspects of the computer cheque sorting system modular, in order that customers could expand the capacity of their sorting systems in an economical and flexible manner. | | | Ferranti Canada's efforts to launch an indigenous computer industry, with itself at the centre, and the eventual collapse of this dream, is a more complex story than the usual versions which speak of great ideas lost to an unresponsive society. | | | The computer group at Ferranti Canada approached ICT with a proposal to design and manufacture ICT's proposed 1905 and 1906 computers in Canada (the FP-6000 itself became the 1904). |

| | Ferranti Mark 1 |
| | The Ferranti Mark 1 was the world's first commercially available general-purpose computer. | | | This was important because it established a link between the university and industry, and ensured that the power of the electronic computer would be available as quickly as possible around the U.K (and abroad). | | | When the first machine was delivered to the University only a quarter of the 16,000 word capacity was in commission, but this was increased as time progressed. |

| | History Ferranti |
| | Ferranti's were a long established family business (started 1882) involved in large transformers, domestic appliances, etc. After the 1939-45 war, Sir Vincent de Ferranti encouraged the company to get into new technologies which led to the collaboration with Manchester University in the area of digital computers. | | | Over the period 1951 to 1959, Ferranti had about 25% of the UK computer market at the top end of systems delivered. | | | In 1963, Ferranti sold its mainframe computer business to ICT for £1.5M in cash and 1.9 million ordinary shares which gave Ferranti a 10.6% stake in ICT. |
