When cleaning out a 3rd party CDC dealer quite a few years back, he
remarked that the CDC machines going way back all the way to the 800s
were fantastically unpicky about how they were cooled. He just used a
garden hose connected to the building potable water, and if the
machine under test needed more coolant because it was running warm, it
just pumped more supply. Heated waste water went down the drain.

This unlike the IBM water machines.
