As I read more about the history of the Cray-1 and some of those involved in the design and manufacture of these intricate devices, I'd also started to think more about how to represent the inside of the Cray-1 Supercomputer. Having some ability to view the insides of the towers also needed to be considered.
However as I spent more time working on these early designs I realised there were a couple of problems. The first one was the that the seat height wasn't correct for the scale of the towers - this was relatively easy to fix. The second problem was much more challenging - the shape of the towers in the Cray-1 form, in effect, an unbroken cylinder. My towers had a large gap between the outer edge of each tower. In order to solve this problem I would have to return to the drawing board to redesign both the seat and the construction of the the towers.
