D. T. Caminer, OBE
9 Park Gate Gardens, London SW14 8BQ, UK
LEO was the world's first business computer. It was built by J. Lyons & Co., a catering company, to meet its own needs and led the way for several years with its succession of integrated applications. Developments are placed in the context of the technological constraints of the early years of electronic stored-program computing.
