Ferranti Mark I



         


The Ferranti Star was the first 'computer', in the modern sense of the term, to go on sale commercially in the UK. It was effectively the same as Prof. F C Williams' 'baby' design but very much miniaturised. Although it went on sale in 1949, it was not until 1951 that the first one was delivered to Manchester University.
