The Use of Pegasus Autocode in Some Experimental Business Applications of Computers

H. W. Gearing

The Metal Box Company Ltd., London, UK

This paper, based on a talk given at The Brunel College of Technology (Acton, London, W.3) on 26 October 1960, describes some applications of the Pegasus Autocode to a market-research survey, experimental sales forecasts, and quality-control statistics, at a time when a suitable business or statistical autocode compiler was not yet available. The significant features of these applications were the relatively short time taken by program development and the tabulation of results, which helped to demonstrate the potential advantages of a computer in business.
