Cray himself. Here's a talk about designing it. My favorite part is his description of the aluminum machining they had to invent in order to move the freon through the frame to keep the machine from melting. It's a great talk. ▶ this video
It reminds me of Seymour Cray's solution. Well, series of solutions, to run Freon directly through the frame of the Cray-1. ▶ this video
This is the Watson "janitor" letter: link Here is a talk of his: ▶ this video Bill Norris mentioned was the CEO of CDC.
