Elliott NCUACS121/7/03 GENERAL INTRODUCTION PROVENANCE 5 The papers werereceived from Mrs Elizabeth Elliott, widow, in July 2001. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF WILLIAM SYDNEYELLIOTT William Sydney Elliott was born on 22 April 1917. He was educated at Deacon’s School, Peterborough and St Catharine’s College, Cambridge wherehe 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. After a period with Powell Duffryn Research Laboratories, 1946-1947, as Chief Physicist Elliott joined Elliott Brothers Research Laboratories as Head of the Computing Division. In his curriculum vitae he listed the achievements of this period as shaft-encoding systems, computer-controlled gunnery (axis conversion, data reduction, prediction), analogue and digital computing systems, storage in magnetostriction delay lines and the ‘401’ computer. The ‘401’ prototype wasbuilt with the support of the National Research Development Corporation. Completed in April 1953 it was exhibited the same month at the Physical Society Exhibition. It gave many years of good service at the Rothamstead Experimental Station and is now housedin the Science Museum London. In 1953 Elliott moved to Ferranti Ltd. Here the listed achievements are the initiation of the Digital Systems Department (control systems on naval vessels) and the ‘Pegasus’ Computer. Interest in the original Pegasus computer in 1956 led to IBM making him an offer to set up and run a new research laboratory in Britain, Hursley Park, Winchester. For this period Elliott's curriculum vitae highlighted: 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 control projects and specification of 1720 control computer, introduction to IBM of microprogram control (used in 360 computers) and the provision of special computer instrumentation for Latina nuclear power station. W.S. Elliott NCUACS121/7/03 6 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 basedin part on workat 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 becameprincipal 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 graphicsfacilities for CAD in real-world use. In recognition of his distinction in computer engineering he was elected to the Fellowship of Engineering (Royal Academy of Engineering) in 1979. He was also a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineering, of the Institute of Physics and of the British Computer Society. He died on 3 May 2000. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material is presented in the order given in the List of Contents. The papers cover the period 1935-2000. Section A, Biographical, is slight. It includes, however, an unpublished obituary by H.M. Ross and curricula vitae. 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 correspondence, manuscript and typescript drafts and copies of reports and memoranda. There is also later (to 1993) correspondence and papersrelating to the history of radar. W.S. Elliott NCUACS121/7/03 7 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 notesof 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 andAtlas 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 andgraphics, 1974-1983. Section F, Lectures, documents a number ofElliott’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. Section G, Publications, includes a set of off-prints and photocopies of Elliott's publications, 1940- 1978, and correspondence and drafts relating to publications, 1968-1989. Section H, Visits and conferences, presents documentation of a small number of visits made and conferences attended, 1949-1985. The most substantial documentation relates to Sperry-Univac 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 in 1983. 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 Technology, 1966-1969, and the Ministry of Industry, 1976. There are extensive records of Elliott’s consultancy work in CAD and the development of automatic office systems. Companies and organisations represented include Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, European Space Research Organisation, Unilever, and Wellworthy Ltd (Associated Engineering group). Section K, Non-textual material, comprises photographs and photographic slides, films, computer disks and technical drawings, 1962-1988 though there are undateditems relating to Elliott Brothers.. WSS.Elliott NCUACS121/7/03 Thereis also an index of correspondents. 8 Peter Harper Timothy E.

Elliott NCUACS121/7/03 68 Advisory and consultancy,J.1-J.152 J.29-J.152 CONSULTANCY 1962-1997 Elliott was increasingly involved in consultancy work in computer aided design in the 1970s. A project for the surveyors of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping wasthefirst 3-D CAD commercial contract anywhere. See draft obituary at A.1. In the curricula vitae at A.3 (1980-1981) Elliott explained that he was a Director of Graphical Software Limited (GSL) and its subsidiary Graphical Software Office Systems Ltd. ‘GSL wasstarted in 1972 to continue for Lloyd’s of interactive graphics which | was formerly carrying out as a Science Research Council grant-holder. On Imperial College requiring me not to seek renewal of the Grant, the Technical Director of Lloyd’s Register (Mr Brian Hildrew) continue the work as a consultant. The need for a team for the software engineering led to GSL’s formation and GSL has since developed as a small software engineering house.’ requested that development the Register of Shipping | J.29-J.31 Hartford Projects Ltd and Norman Development Ltd A 200 Baud Electronically-Controlled Teleprinter Marketing and Engineering Study, 5 December 1962 1962 Duplicated typescript report. 3 folders. The consultants were Elliott, H.G. Carpenter and K.R. Simmonds. J.32-J.47 Lloyd’s Register of Shipping 1971-1982 In 1971 a pilot study wascarried out for Lloyd’s Register of Shipping on their problems in Computer Aided Design. In 1972-1974 resulting from the pilot study an interactive graphics system for ship surveyors was designed and implemented. The system interacted with structural analysis programs and allowed surveyors freedom in modification of the model being analysed. In 1974-1975 there was further study and implementation for Lloyd’s Register of Shipping of a system to assist the design of off-shore structures(oil rigs).
