Hey Dave,
yes, the wire is too thin. But I have a suspicion that it isn't even copper. Did you notice the springy-ness of the leads? And the resistance is way too high as well.Might be fun to put 16A through it to see what happens....
or at least measure the resistance
220v/16A on a skimpy wire like that... I'd expect to see something more in line with Photoninduction's videos.. Aka smokin and burn carpet.
PS: what's the idea with those floor-sized carpets Brits seem to love? Ain't those hard to keep clean etc?
I just found the maintenance manual for the LVDC boards:

THANKS!!!!!! What a find. I was right... it was an IBM card. They never used industry standard numbers on their chips until they produced the PC came along.
As you can see, it was very well documented. The technical description is excellent.
IBM documented their mainframes really well. They never used standard logic symbols. Everything was a block and the libraries of technical manuals were huge.

Later, there were also all-glass memory and A-D converters

David you just have to make a Nixie clock or something with those Nixie tubes =-)
Im lost. They have plenty PR BS brochures, but I cant find real documentation
It is Transputers Reloaded all over the place. Just as with transputers there are a lot of very bold claims about xcores around. And there are a lot of people still around who don't trust anything remotely related to transputers or the people who had a hand in developing them.

Joanna in the English speaking world we call those "floor sized" carpets wall-to-wall carpets.
Yes they are very popular, and yes they are very filthy. You started to see them become very common in North America in the mid 1960's. It was a way for poor and low middle class people to feel they were living the luxous, and for builders of cheap commodity tract housing to equip the new housing supply with the tacky look their tasteless moron customers demanded. Every house in Canada built in the seventies came with shag carpet in the living room, and sometimes in all the other rooms except the kitchen. Think about shag bathrooms with men and boys pissing and dribbling all over!
Shag bathroom.. Sounds downright dirty.. and at a more than one way.
Dave,
You infer in the video you hate religion and yet you went to an organ recital in a church in Lubeck?

I noticed that too. I remember trying to visualize him walking in to the church.

Proof that there is no god: Dave Jones walked into a church and was not struck by lightning

You can enjoy religious music without believing or even agreeing with the religion. I have a large amount of religious music simply because it's pleasant to listen to.
He likes good music on a good sound source.
Those organs are brilliant works of engineering as well, if you ever find yourself in a church with some spare time ask them if you can have a look inside
I believe I'm about as religious as Dave appears to be, but I still love looking at and photographing old churches because they are so intricately built. They also represent the majority of old buildings around here, everything else has been replaced..
