The first part of this paper is an introduction to CUCH, a formal language created in 1962 by merging the A-formulae language (A. Church) and the combinators language (H. B. Curry). The second part deals with the automatic reduction of the CUCH formulae. In the years between 1960 and 1964 McCarthy and Landin, using the characteristics of Λ-conversion and introducing the semantic notion of «value of an expression» created some languages, which, even using completely different algorithms, utilize the notion of reduction to normal form as a mechanism of an abstract machine for computing recursive function (of list, the former, of integer, the latter).
