FACIT EDB

The manufacturing was done by Åtvidabergs Industrier department of electronics in Stockholm and came to fruition by recruiting 18 key persons from the Swedish Board for Computing Machinery (Matematikmaskinnämndens).

The recruitment of people from Swedish Board for Computing Machinery were approved by the Finance minister Gunnar Sträng.

FACIT EDB was installed as a service machine in Åtvidaberg industries facilities at Karlavägen in Stockholm.

FACIT EDB was a copy of the BESK, and was built with a combination of electron tubes and germanium diodes.
