Atanasoff–Berry Computer, First Automatic Electronic Digital Computer (1942)
Clifford Berry at the controls of the ABC, the first machine to use vacuum tubes to do arithmetic calculations. Since it was neither programmable, nor Turing-complete, it would be more appropriate to call this machine the first electronic ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) – which is integrated into every modern processor's design. Conceived in 1937 and designed only to solve systems of 29 linear equations, this 60Hz, 300 tube machine with spinning 3000 bit capacitor memory was built by Iowa State College mathematics and physics professor John Vincent Atanasoff with the help of graduate student Clifford Berry. Key innovations included electronic computation, binary arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative capacitor memory, and a separation of memory and computing functions. Since input to this binary computer could be in decimal, another clever tube minimization measure was the spinning decimal-to-binary conversion drum inspired by and resembling a pinned drum music box, a 1772 invention!
A year later, in 1943 England, the first "programmable" electronic digital machine called the Colossus computer was built in secret using a similar tube-based technology.

Someone in the EPA is having a seizure looking at the first pic.
The second pic reminds me of one of our own who wanted to rig a fix to breaker box for a rental he owned (no names mentioned).

She says "Really, porno pics?"

I don't make it up. I just pass it along.

Allegheny County Pennsylvania moved the 6,000 ton county morgue a city block in 1928 to accommodate a new county office building. And they rotated it 90 degrees too.
Two wooden causeways, similar to those used in shipbuilding, were constructed. Steel rails were placed on the causeways and metal wheels connected to beams supported the bottom of the building used by the rails.
Workers installed cribbing underneath the bottom of the morgue via the basement then used hundreds of jacks to lift the morgue from its foundation. It was an exercise in precision as one wrong move could cause the whole thing to come crashing down.
After getting the building off the old foundation, it was lowered onto the causeway where a team of workhorses slowly turned a winch, inching the building along the rails until it finally reached its new home.
All in all, the move took about three months. So what was the coroner and his staff supposed to do in the meantime? After all, people were still dying in the City of Pittsburgh. Why, his solution was to keep working in the building as it moved, of course!
Yes, you did indeed read that correctly.
the Dress-Oravetz House Moving crew came from one of the Baltic countries because they had the expertise
The coroner and his staff continued to work in the building throughout the move, conducting routine paperwork, autopsies, and inquests, all while enduring the occasional jolting and jarring of the building as it moved. It just required the building and rebuilding of ramps in order to get to the entrance. Just be sure to watch your step.
The employees continuing to work in the building posed another interesting challenge as special connections had to be made for the plumbing, sewer, water, and telephone lines. As the building moved, so did the connections.
95 years later the morgue remains in use but by a different county department. The Medical Examiner (the elected coroner position was eliminated) and the Crime Labs outgrew the available space and relocated.
The building can be seen in the movie ‘Concussion’

That's okay. The person that was cleaning the tranny won't be doing it again because he is probably in the hospital or pushing up daisies. My gf doesn't even like the dog hair in the house.
