Lyons didn't have the money to build the next machine needed to compete, so sold their 50% to EE, the other shareholder. EE were one of the companies merged to form ICL, who for 15 or 20 years were an IBM competitor and doing pretty well until at least the early 80s and the first connections with Fujitsu.
