It doesn't at all. And I agreed with them so much it seemed pointless to say. But it affects whether IBM back in US knew what was going on.

But you were right. They were IBM machines, & the management reported to New York, even after the US entered the war.pic.twitter.com/q6gvXrohV9

In contrast the Letchworth company held a Hollerith license for UK & Empire, but was independent (hence my query), & later became ICT, & then part of Fujitsu. Thus UK would only have known what IBM knew if IBM shared via US govt, rather than internally of IBM.pic.twitter.com/GpswuxQRzW
