Ferranti, which had built the Mark I for the university, continued development of the prototype Meg to produce the
Mercury. The main change was to replace the Williams tubes with core memory. Although slower to access, at about 10 ÎĽs for a 10-bit short word, the system required virtually no

Meg first ran in May 1954. The use of solid-state diodes reduced valve count by well over half, reducing the power requirement from the Mark I's 25 kW to the Meg's 12 kW. Like the Mark I, Meg was based on a 10-bit "short word", combining two to form a 20-bit address and four to make a

Meg could multiply two integers in about 60 microseconds. The floating-point unit used three words for a 30-bit mantissa, and another as a 10-bit exponent. It could add two floating-point numbers in about 180 microseconds, and multiply them in about 360 microseconds.

diodes. These were much less expensive than transistors, yet enough of them were used in the design that replacing just the diodes would still result in a significant simplification and improvement in reliability.

The first of an eventual 19 Mercury computers was delivered in August 1957. Manchester
