    That would be just a valve, not a valve transistor. Valves and transistors are different devices. Bet you enjoyed that visit though !!

  • Let's see it run a SHA-256 hash!

  • I went there today on a school trip and it was very hot in that room.The man who showed us around gave away one of the original valve transistors from colossus.

  • Absolutely amazing and fascinating...Youre really lucky to be able to go and see it. Wish I could...:)

  • Imagine how long it would take to go through every pixel of a JPG image, before a screen is able to show the whole picture?

    That was state-of-the art back then.

  • Cool video

    Interesting computer.
