One of #BletchleyPark's finest is being honoured🎉
Bill Tutte, whose #Codebreaking work on the Lorenz cipher was vital in WWII, is featured on a #VEDay80 stamp! His genius helped pave the way for #Colossus, now residing at TNMOC.
Bill is pictured with our founder, Tony Sale.

And it continued, I remember as an apprentice on a course shown a faulty reed relay, a small fly in it (inside the glass tube). They just could not work out how it got in through the manufacturing process and but an example of "anything can happen".

We were thrilled to welcome New Scientist to #TNMOC to film EDSAC. As project lead Andrew Herbert put it, "We're kind of doing archaeology" - piecing together how this pioneering machine operated in pursuit of a working rebuild.

🤔 Did you know that the first #Computer mouse was made of wood? Created in the 60s, it was little more than a box with wheels!
While we don't have Engelbart's prototype, our #Museum is full of #RetroComputers from yesteryear 💾
