Status for Oct 16, 2013

When the Computer History Museum was built, it had HALON fire suppression installed in the computer room.

At some point, the system was removed.

However some of the under-the-floor plumbing was left behind.

With the current addition to under-the-floor fire sprinklers, the two under-the-floor plumbing systems were close to each other making the placement of the IBM 1401 cables difficult.

Frank King, Dave Lion and Stan Paddock went into the depths and removed the HALON plumbing and the brackets that supported that plumbing



.
On Monday, October 21, the movers and Dave Lion will be returning to move the German 1401 system back into the 1401 room.

On Wednesday, October 23, the 1401 team will move all equipment in the 1401 room to the final display locations.

Add power and a bunch of cables, we will be ready to go!

(Sounds Simple doesn't it?)
