I can tell you.


I have heard a story about the WRNS who operated Colossus stripping
down to their undies because of the heat. There's a lot to be said
against air-conditioning.

Colleague was called into a customer in London in the middle of the night
and when he got there the lights were out (only illumination was from lights
on the tape drives) and all the operators (both sexes) were in their undies
and sun-glasses.
