That's freaky, it looks like an alien eye.Through the reflective coating of one of the valves on Colossus on a visit to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park last weekend
Great pics, some of that equipment recognisable from my early working in various PO Exchanges. Any PO bods here recognise the elephant in the room (pic 66165?). Probably still used, long time since I was in one.Some more of the Colossus and one of the infamous Heath Robinson Machine

That's the one. Made to slip between the backs of equipment racks - chairs don't fit. You could be working there for a long time cabling or faulting.The wooden step-stool perhaps? I wouldn't doubt they're still in use, they look pretty useful...
