Other customers?

[edit]

A recent edit added this note to the article:

The Norwich Union Insurance Company bought both the 1 and the 2 for use in its Norwich head office, before changing to ICL 1900 computers. Erricson was another company that bought an Orion 2.

Is there a source for this? The sources in the article state that only 5 Orion 2's were built, and then go on to name all the customers. If Norwich Union and Erricson also bought them, they either built more examples than the existing sources state, or they received machines originally sent to other customers. I'd like to clarify which of these cases is true, and then insert the text into the right location (not the lead!). Maury Markowitz (talk) 10:38, 18 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
