Campers & Computers

[Cornishman]

Anybody hear the BBC R4 15 mins reading from the book A Computer Called Leo? It was interesting to hear the part played by Camper & Nicholson in the building of the first commercial computer in this country for J Lyons & Co.

Don't think it was gaff rigged!

The pantomime horse. It was the only time Nicholson came before Camper.

Some sort of semi mass production was required for certain parts of the circuitry and one of the computer's builders was friendly with somebody at C&N who were looking for work for their electricians when they had nothing else to do.
