Electronic Office
30.04.2010
Due to volunteer availability and funding, work on this gallery is currently suspended. We hope to resume as soon as possible.
04.12.2009
Work continues in this gallery with wallpapering and painting under-way. Due to the amount of work involved, volunteer availability and other higher priority work, we will not have this gallery completed until the new year now.
12.11.2009
Work continues at a slower pace than originally anticipated due to volunteer effort availability and other projects. The main construction has been completed so the next stage is painting and decorating followed by installation of the exhibits. We are hoping to complete the work before Christmas.
10.09.2009
Work has now started on refitting the Electronic Office gallery which means it will be closed for the next few weeks. We have some interesting ideas for the 'new look' which will be announced once it is completed.
Debits and Credits Gallery
30.04.2010
Graham continues to restore the punch card equipment and is making good but steady progress. Some of the smaller machines are now working with the occasional demonstration to the public. We are still looking for funding to complete this room.
04.12.2009
We are still looking for sponsors for this gallery, but in the meantime work continues on restoring the equipment to working condition.
12.11.2009
Restoration of the punch card equipment continues at a slow but steady pace. We are still looking for sponsorship for this gallery so it may be some time before it is open fully to the public.
10.05.2009
This gallery will show some early 40 column punch card equipment used for analysing and collating data. The equipment has now arrived from Liverpool and is being evaluated as to it's condition. We still have a lot of work to do to make it viewable to the public but hope to have it open as soon as suitable sponsors are found for the fitting out. Work has also started on the restoration of the equipment to working order, but this activity is likely to take a long time as we have 12 large machines to restore.
