The amazing tour continues. Gosh, I love this place.
At 13:19, I introduce myself to the docent I was directed to for the radio and phone and computer encryption room...who turns out to be a direct relative! At 14:00, docent Howell McConnell then tells me of our ancestry as relates to a cousin of King Arthur. I also find out he's written a history of the national computing center, and the Orange book. My cousin _is_ a color!
What the hell is this? Some kind of tired-ass old "spook" A.A. meeting? Who cares about your pedigree? I want to see the Crypto Machines especially KW-7's and KG-13's I maintained both of them. Many sleepless nights, in smelly green tents, in the middle of the desert, keeping these damn things working (always, check those ground rods*FIRST*) I get this? Thanks.
You are drunk as a skunk are you not?
At 08:30 I do notice KL-7 Adonis. Terrific simulator and theory of operation is online.
