This is incorrect.  The 316, 516, and 716 were introduced by 3C, Computer
Controls Corporation, which later became the Computer Controls Division
(CCD) of Honeywell.  This division was never owned by GE.

(This machine is the machine that the original Prime 200 was introduced as
an object-compatible knockoff for, by the way.)
