Hitachi Financial Trading Systems received the first U.K. order for its Terminator digital turret system. Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank and Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank International will install 117 dealer positions in London, each with access to 400 telephone lines.

The Terminator consoles will be served from a single central processor, but will be configured to offer switching separation between the two operations.
