This is one of a pair of machines that came from a large insurance company. It was purchased in the mid 1990s to calculate insurance quotes.

It had suffered a small amount of damage before it reached us, but a couple of fixes and it booted fairly cleanly. Two of its sixty Sparc processors aren't running, but other than that all is well.

This Cray, one of a pair, was named Ronnie. There are no prizes for guessing the name of the second machine.
