Teklogix (more fully, Teklogix International Inc.) was created in 1967 by Lawrence Cragg together with a small group of engineers.The company focused on mini computer applications. It designed and built complete systems based upon DEC's PDP-8 computer, DEC's logic modules and purpose built logic. Many of the company's projects involved control of material handling systems and this led to the development of radio linked terminals for installation on fork lift trucks complete with multiplexers to interface to a variety of main frame computer systems. In September 2000 Teklogix was acquired by U.K.-based Psion PLC, and became Psion Teklogix Inc. ==The Founders== The founders are: Rod Coutts, Lawrie Cragg, Al Vanderburgh, Cliff Bernard and Pete Halsall. Lawrie Cragg ran the company as President for the first nine years of its life. The group met while working at Ferranti International's Canadian division, Ferranti-Packard Electronics. The engineers worked on projects related to FP6000 (Ferranti-Packard 6000, which became the ICL 1900), ReserVec, Back Up Interceptor Control (BUIC)〔Also see Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE)〕 for the United States Military, as well as Ferranti-Packard's drum memory systems. The group left Ferranti-Packard and formed Teklogix.〔 〕 * The founding members managed to collect $10,000 in initial subscribed capital, with an additional $8,000 provided by Pete Halsall, when he was made a full partner in the early 70's.〔2004 Kickoff Meeting - Speech Address to Psion Teklogix' employees, February 2004, by Special Guest Rod Coutts (Retired), Denver, Colorado, page 3-4, provided by Psion Teklogix〕 * In the year 2000, the company was purchased by Psion for £240 million, or $544 million (CDN). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teklogix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
