ICT got only the data processing part of Elliotts, which was

I remember them! First machines I wrote assembler for...used two of them
until 1976.

Then there was the 803 where you had to load the Algol compiler (4k
IIRC) using paper tape.

This machine was everything that an art deco computer should be. -
rounded corners, console with flashing lights and a speaker that would
play tunes if the right paper tape was loaded.

There is (was) a working 803 at Bletchley Park, in the Computer
Conservation bit.
They replaced the 803 at work with the 4130 just before I got there.
