Extreme working hours
editIn the "Career" section it says that with so few people, including Dorothy, who knew how to properly run the machines, "It was necessary for those people to work three eight-hour shifts every day for several weeks". This seems to mean that those persons literally, individually, worked round the clock without any sleep for several weeks? (3x8=24 hours) :)
Also, there's a problem with the caption to the black-and-white photo. It says that Dorothy and Elsie are seen operating a Colossus Mk 2. The photo is dated to 1943, elsewhere I've seen the date "December 1943" - but the Mk 2 didn't become operational until just before D-Day in the early summer of 1944. So the machine in the photo is most likely a Mk 1. 188.150.64.57 (talk) 03:03, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
