Summary
Photograph of a computer diagram entitled "LEO 1 logic from [illegible] I/O (initial)". Diagram shows the logic of input and output in a LEO 1 computer. The LEO (Lyons Electronic Office) computer began operating in 1951 and was used in bakery management by the J. Lyons Company in the United Kingdom. This was the first business application to run on a stored-program computer.
This is one of a set of photographs showing computers, computer components, computer structure diagrams and computer programmimg instructions, probably used as aids in teaching computing subjects. The diagrams and instructions relate to several pioneer models and systems of stored program computers dating back as far as the 1950s and including CSIRAC (originally known as CSIR Mark 1), Cirrus, Atlas, IBM System/360 , CDC 6600 System, and Illiac IV.
