OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF WILLIAM SYDNEY ELLIOTT William Sydney Elliott was born on 22 April 1917. He was educated at Deacon’s School, Peterborough and St Catharine’s College, Cambridge where he studied physics. His Ph.D. studies at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge were interrupted when he joined the wartime Air Defence Research and Development Establishment at Christchurch, Hampshire, later moving to Malvern, Worcestershire. During this period he worked on radar systems, developing an interest in pulse-type electronic techniques. Projects included the use of delay lines to cancel out interference of stationary ‘clutter’ in radar signals, to distinguish a moving target, and subsequently the use of binary digital tranducers in electro-mechanical servo systems. month at the Physical Society Exhibition. It gave many years of good service at the Rothamstead Experimental Station and is now housed in the Science Museum London. In 1953 Elliott moved to Ferranti Ltd. Here the listed achievements are the initiation of the Digital conversion, data reduction, prediction), analogue and digital computing systems, storage in magnetostriction delay lines and the ‘401’ computer. The ‘401’ prototype was built with the support of listed the achievements of this period as shaft-encoding systems, computer-controlled gunnery (axis Systems Department (control systems on naval vessels) and the ‘Pegasus’ Computer. Interest in the Elliott Brothers Research Laboratories as Head of the Computing Division. In his curriculum vitae he After a period with Powell Duffryn Research Laboratories, 1946-1947, as Chief Physicist Elliott joined the National Research Development Corporation. Completed in April 1953 it was exhibited the same nuclear power station. control (used in 360 computers) and the provision of special computer instrumentation for Latina original Pegasus computer in 1956 led to IBM making him an offer to set up and run a new research control projects and specification of 1720 control computer, introduction to IBM of microprogram participation in establishing research missions for European laboratories, collaboration with Nordic Laboratory on process control in paper and other industries, collaboration with parent US division on laboratory in Britain, Hursley Park, Winchester. For this period Elliott's curriculum vitae highlighted: W.S. Elliott NCUACS 121/7/03 After his experience with three companies in the computer industry he returned to academia. He was appointed 1962-1965 in the Cambridge University Mathematical Laboratory as Co-ordinator of the Titan (Atlas 2) Project. This was a joint project with Ferranti Ltd and was based in part on work at Manchester on the Atlas computer. Its object was to provide a computer service for the university, and under Elliott's guidance was brought in on schedule and within a tight budget. In January 1966 he was appointed Assistant Director of Research in the Cambridge University Engineering Department to establish joint work on Computer-Aided Design (CAD) between the Engineering Department and the Mathematical Laboratory. In October 1966 he moved to Imperial College London as Professor of Computing. Here he promoted CAD work and became principal investigator of two Science Research Council grants and a Ministry of Technology contract, using common equipment for CAD work. Computer courses were an important part of Elliott’s work in London, for example, a course on computer design to M.Sc. Control students at Imperial and a course on CAD and graphics as part of the London University B.Sc. (Eng) and M.Sc. in Computing Science. The move to Imperial did not end Elliott’s Cambridge connexions and for the period 1972-1975 he was seconded part-time as Visitor to Control Group, Cambridge University Engineering Department, to assist with their research. From the early 1970s Elliott, with a number of colleagues as Graphical Software Ltd, was increasing involved in consultancy work, for example, detailed software development and overall systems design of interactive graphics facilities for CAD in real-world use.

There is Section B, Second World War, presents an extensive record of Elliott's wartime work, for example, radio-operated fuze and radar including anti-clutter, 1940-1946. The documentation comprises W.S. Elliott NCUACS 121/7/03 Section C, Early computer history, is substantial. The papers relate principally to developments at Elliott Brothers and Ferranti Ltd. They include a few original documents, more photocopied material and an extensive late correspondence with fellow computer pioneers and others interested in computer history with manuscript notes of recollections etc, 1948-1996. Section D, University of Cambridge, is slight. Only three items, 1966, survive from his years at Cambridge, 1962-1966. These relate to CAD and Atlas 2 and the provision of computer services to the university. Section E, Imperial College London, presents a little material relating to research for the period 1970- 1972 and much more substantial documentation relating to his teaching commitments in computer science. The research records relate to work funded by the Science Research Council and the Department of Trade and Industry. There are manuscript and typescript drafts, transparencies, hand- outs etc for Elliott's teaching on computer architecture and computer design, and CAD and graphics, 1974-1983. Section F, Lectures, documents a number of Elliott’s invitation and public lectures, 1962-1990. Topics include the computer industry, computer manufacture, CAD and early computer history and several visits to Australia are represented by lectures material. 1978, and correspondence and drafts relating to publications, 1968-1989. in 1983. conferences attended, 1949-1985. The most substantial documentation relates to Sperry-Univac Section J, Advisory and consultancy, is one of the most substantial in the archive. There are records of Elliott’s role as adviser to government departments on computer matters, especially the Ministry of Section H, Visits and conferences, presents documentation of a small number of visits made and Section G, Publications, includes a set of off-prints and photocopies of Elliott’s publications, 1940- symposia on CAD and CAE (computer-aided engineering) in 1981 and 1982 and a symposium organised by the Fellowship of Engineering on the social and cultural challenge of modern technology disks and technical drawings, 1962-1988 though there are undated items relating to Elliott Brothers.. Technology, 1966-1969, and the Ministry of Industry, 1976.
