I also remember seeing pictures of the CRAY-2 with a window in the side so you could see the hardware in the coolant. It generated enough heat to produce what became the nick name for the CRAY, "bubbles".

I saw my one at General Dynamics early in my career. It looked like the red one in the picture at bottom here. At the time it was the fastest machine around.

Cool John Wiltrout.

Thanks sharing1

Got a picture of a Cray from my UK trip.

I was amazed at how small they were.

I'll try to dig it out and post it.

Here is a link to the Museum in case anyone wants more information. Just a bonus there is also the Leinenkugel Brewery in town that conducts tours.
