What do you do with a computer which has
blown a few circuits, as with the General?
You salvage
what components you can, and then those components can be incorporated in
another computer. Then you relegate it to the cipher room as seen in ‘Hammer
Into Anvil’ and ‘It’s Your Funeral.’
More than
that, they saved the machine into which the Professor’s lectures were fed and
transferred onto a metal strip, which in turn is fed into the General. This
machine can be seen set on a stand in the background as Number 2 stumbles over
the base of the arch in the top picture. On the other hand in this case the
machine is just what it appears to be, a plain and simple Xerox photocopier!
Be seeing you
