Checking out the hastag #hnfpb on Mastodon that #HeinzNixdorfMuseumForum suggest you use, I find the wonderful virtual #ICT1301 #mainframe at https://ict1301.virtualcolossus.co.uk/ by @virtualcolossus.

The computer was a fully transistorised 48-bit word machine with core memory and drum backing store: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICT_1301

@fluidlogic @virtualcolossus got to love computers that did pounds, shillings and pence. I wonder if this is from the same family as the EMIDEC? https://www.emidec.org.uk/emih0hom.htm

Yes, looks like the EMI became part of ICT in the early 60s & the EMIDEC 1100 was renamed the ICT 1101 but looks to be similar technology.
