Err, the PERQ was originally designed/built by 3 Rivers Computer Corp
in the States. I think some parts of the 2T1 (the one with the 8"
Micropolis hard drive), in particular the hard disk interface board
and the portrait monitor (based on a Kent Modular Electronics chassis)
were from ICL, but the CPU, memory. EIO etc all come from the States.
Of course the AGW3300 is an ICLmachine but I feel that's a PERQ in name only

This was a long day. Went over to the house and
started working on getting
the Perqs out of the basement. I've been moving smaller stuff to make room
and it was time.
I can see that it was a long day - but you are doing good work! Keep it
up!
Whereabouts is all this heavy lifting taking place, in the US? I wouldn't
have expected to see ICL Perqs so far from home ...
