There are a few Elliot 803s preserved in Britain. One at Bletchley
Park, another at the Science Museum, and probably others. They have
an interesting power supply: the incoming mains is used to charge
a *big* Ni-Cd battery, which powers the computer. The same battery
is used in the Nimrod aircraft, and the RAF have kindly supplied
spares for the 803s.
