You are correct, David, it was Piccolo (not Lincompex) that was used for producing the newspaper on QE2. If I remember correctly (and, if the foregoing is any guide, that is most questionable) the Lincompex was made by a GEC company but I can't recall which part of the group. It certainly wasn't Marconi!
