https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE-600_series from the 36-bit era which turned out to be a sweet-spot for Lisp; also "famous" for running Multics (old joke flipped: "which was many of whatever unix is one of")

GE sold it's division to Honeywell, and from there to Group Bull (French) and then to NEC (Japan)
