Memo from Mr. Simmons to Geoffrey Salmon proposing to use LEO in the job of valuing the Cadby Hall Bakeries Output and Sales as an experiment before LEO is properly used. Research comments: This is an early document on what became the world's first commercial computer program. That job was known internally at Lyons as L3, the Lyons Bakery Valuations job, which produced valuations of the output and sales of the Cadby Hall bakeries. The document refers to the experimental nature of these early programs and Lyons' need to approach the experiment as a test of what would happen once their new computer was fully operational in terms of the data required to feed the new machine, its output and the timings for both.
