CPU usage

Curry and Hauser had become increasingly interested in the idea of selling their own computers and so, on 5 December 1978, they set up Cambridge Processor Unit Ltd (CPU). From the maths (Curry started working for Sinclair in 1966 and worked for him for 13 years) it is clear that Curry was still working for Sinclair at this time, and indeed CPU was "borrowing" a room at Science of Cambridge to provide computer consultancy services in order to raise money to finance the development of their own hardware. Their first customer was Ace Coin Equipment Ltd, who needed controllers for their fruit machines.
