Interesting mention of Ferranti back when I was young we had a state of the art A0 Ferranti digitizer delivered (serial no 7)
My boss said “interesting project for you – hook this up to the PDP 11 make it work and then go and talk to Dave so he can use it to digitize the droplet cloud from an experimental rig”
First order of business was to get my soldering iron out and make up a suitable cable
- zabzonk 5y agoI must admit I didn't realise that Ferranti did things like digitisers. I used to work at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, just down the road from the Ferranti site on Crewe Toll, where a couple of my flatmates were radar engineers. Don't know if that's where they produced the digitisers though.
- scruss 5y agothe mailing address for Ferranti-Cetec was at Crewe Toll. I have a vague memory of the Ferranti-Cetec office being further west, though, but I could be wrong
