Colossus was first operational over eighty years ago!
But just how colossus is Colossus?
It takes up the same space as 2 ping-pong tables and stands over 2 metres tall! ๐
Imagine your computer taking up that much space ๐ฎ

@tnmoc @bletchleypark @GCHQ It was a fantastic afternoon! Really enjoyed showing off some of my work to celebrate this amazing machine's 80th Birthday. Still buzzing from all of the lovely comments. #Colossus80
Just finished an amazing day @bletchleypark with @GCHQ & @tnmoc for #colossus80. I got feedback "if you do any other talks then my wife and I would attend. It was the highlight for us - very engaging speaker and you explained the workings of Colossus in a way that made sense." ๐

Possibly, the rows of what look like the counter dials shown here are two sets of the counter limit setting dials. There's 5 counter columns across with 4 rows, one for units, tens, hundreds & thousands and two sets for 10 counters. #Colossus80 @GCHQ @tnmoc @bletchleypark
Looking closer at new #Colossus80 photos by @GCHQ today. This rear shot is showing the Thyratrons (left) which simulate the Lorenz rotors & what looks like the counters. Possibly a 2nd row giving 10 counters, orig had 5! Images from @tnmoc 3D Virtual Tour: https://t.co/eFP9BQJKjT
Today marks 80 years since the arrival of Colossus at Bletchley Park. We'll be marking #Colossus80 along with @GCHQ and @tnmoc throughout the day.

You can also just see a bedstead sticking out at the far end here #Colossus80
Here's an interesting addition to the new Colossus console! These look very much like the connectors used on the Bombe which was used as the Enigma reflector ... hmmm. #Colossus80 @GCHQ @tnmoc @bletchleypark
