    It looks like everyone signed every time they visited. He's not the only name on there multiple times...

    Re: News - Turing’s papers rescued at last

    Why did Professor Newman feel it necessary to have a visitor's book? Was it a stately home or similar?

    Confusion aside, I'm glad to see the papers stay in together, and in this country, well done to the folks who managed to raise the money required.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...
