As part of a new computing museum in the U.K., they're rebuilding the Colossus computer used to decrypt encoded German communications during WW II. An amazing feat, given that the original machine had its tubes removed and was broken up into little pieces after the war was over.

Figure it was of interest here due to the "valved" computational engine...
