Beautiful to watch - all clicking relays and dekatron tubes

A friend (sadly now deceased) used to tell me about how his removal
company transported a computer of some sort from the south up
somewhere. As he lived and was based in Wolverhampton, and the dates
make sense, I am suspecting it was indeed WITCH. His description, so
far as I can remember, also tallies. He claimed that not a single part
was damaged in transit. So rather better than HDNL... :-)
