Craig Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Then (1955)... And now... I love the contrast of these two images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is a shame they could not shrink the dish with the same level of increased power that they have done with the computers. We could all have one at home. Think what we would have discovered by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I remember those old pics Bernard Lovell showed us when he visited my high school when I was a small kid (I'm just a big one now lol). And seeing the new gear when I visited JB last year was a total contrast - we even saw the dish move as they parked it in strong winds - awesome beast it is. Good comparison Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 That reminds me so much of when I started in the power industry, the control rooms were all big dials and frankenstein switchgear, now its all pcs, monitors and plcs, I had a hand in some of the conversion at various power stations, I wished Id kept some of the old gear we threw out tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MakkaPakka1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Visited Jodrell Bank a few times, first being when I was about 5. To say that the dish was massive and a little intimidating would be an understatement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
