Ferranti Mercury
The Mercury was an early 1950s commercial computer built by Ferranti. It was a development of the famous Manchester Mark I, adding a floating point unit for improved performance, and increased reliability by replacing the Williams tube memory with core memory and using more solid state components. Nineteen Mercuries were sold in total before Ferranti moved on to newer designs.
