Further from The Dream Machine, after many pages about IBM:

"The British computer industry, started by Lyons in the late 1940s [by sending
two people to the EDVAC team] never had a chance. In 1963, after selling only
[!] 100
computers, Lyons sold their computer division to the English Electric Company.
..... After several mergers the English Electric Company would be absorbed
into ICL, ... in 1990 Fujitsu bought 80 % of ICL."
