Hmmm, now I am going to have to check it out. Both the punched cards and the
stationary say Leo Computers LTD. The address on the stationary is:
Leo Computers LTD
Hartree House
151A-159A Queensway
London W.2
It also lists the directors as A.H.L. Salmon, J.R.M. Simmons, T.R. Thompson,
A.B Barnes, D.T. Caminer, J.M.M. Pinkerton. I guess it is possible there was
another Leo Computers. Anyone know what the story is?

Leo Computers stationary. Anyone here remember Leo Computers
(late 40's, early 50's)?
You mean Lyons, the people who produced the LEO? I think it was the first
commercially sold computer; it was a cleaned-up version of one of the
British research machines (Manchester Mark I? EDSAC?).
