The UK tobacco company Wills operated a KDF9. It and its operator Ken Somers featured in a press ad campaign showing various Wills employees at work. The first appearance I have noted for Ken is the Observer colour supplement 21 November 1965. The computer is 'six months old' 'and can read and write 200,000 characters a second and print at a rate of 2,000 lines a minute'.
