Abstract
In the words of the hardware engineer Laurie Bental, who worked there from 1957 to 1994, ‘The demise of computing activities at Borehamwood was a long and painful process, spanning the years 1968 to 1988’ [1]. Although 1968 marked the end of Elliott-Automation Computers Ltd., the ‘long and painful process’ had actually begun 2 or 3 years earlier in the opinion of some market-oriented staff.
