This is a new, large, electronic digital computer designed for data-processing and commercial work in general. The computer is built from a range of plug-in packages many of which are the same as those used in the Pegasus computer, and the reliability of which is known. The second part is a line-at-a-time printer capable of printing the content of a reel of Perseus magnetic tape, using a Samastronic print head.
