I've never visited this museum but it looks really great if you're into vintage military radio and associated tech. Sooo many exhibits. Sadly, it's closing in May 2024. signalsmuseum.uk/ blunham.com/Radar/SignalsMus…

The Scalpel is my favourite modern building in London. I particularly like the way the cleaning cradle pops out of the roof like a cuckoo clock. Here's some behind-the-scenes footage: integral-cradles.mercury-web… The video at the end of the page is worth watching.

On this day in 1974, the Altair 8800 went on sale. It was later featured on the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics.

Lots of mechanical goodness in an old taximeter. Skip to 3:35 if you just want to see the really satisfying bit (or 4:10 for the really REALLY satisfying bit). youtube.com/watch?v=n-Ib5efa…
