World War II and its rebuild
Presented by : Tony Sale (Hon FBCS, ex Museums Director, Bletchley Park)
Venue: University of Bristol/Queen's Building/PLT
Date/Time: 20th February 2001 at 5pm
The Colossus was the world's first electronic computer and was built at
Bletchley Park during World War II to break the German
Lorenz cipher.
Tony Sale has spent the last few years rebuilding the
Colossus working from remaining plans, photos and the
recollections of people who worked at Bletchley.
The talk will begin with a discussion of the historical context of the
Colossus and the part it played in shortening World War II.
Tony will then move on to discuss how the Colossus is being
rebuilt and report on the current status of the rebuilding
project.
This talk is suitable for a general audience and all are welcome.
