{Gay Lussac's tower} (Chem.), a large tower or chamber used
in the sulphuric acid process, to absorb (by means of
concentrated acid) the spent nitrous fumes that they may
be returned to the Glover's tower to be reemployed. See
{Sulphuric acid}, under {Sulphuric}, and {Glover's tower},
below.
{Glover's tower} (Chem.), a large tower or chamber used in
the manufacture of sulphuric acid, to condense the crude
acid and to deliver concentrated acid charged with nitrous
fumes. These fumes, as a catalytic, effect the conversion
of sulphurous to sulphuric acid. See {Sulphuric acid},
under {Sulphuric}, and {Gay Lussac's tower}, above.
{Round tower}. See under {Round}, a.
{Shot tower}. See under {Shot}.

| University of London Computing Centre | University of London Computing Centre
(ULCC) One of the UK's national high
performance computing centres. It provides networking
services and large-scale computing facilities which are used
by researchers from all over the UK.
ULCC was founded in 1968 to provide a service for education
and research. It has been at the forefront of advanced
research computing since its foundation, initially providing
large-scale {CDC}-based facilities, then from 1982 to 1991 a
national {Cray} {vector} supercomputing service. Its high
performance computing facilities are now centred on a 6
processor, 4 Gbyte {Convex C3860} {supercomputer} (Neptune)
with a Convex C3200 front-end (Pluto).
ULCC is the main site for national and international network
connections in the UK. They run the {Network Operations and
Service Centre} for the {JANET Internet Protocol Service}
(JIPS), the largest of the {JANET} {NOC}s and various
international links and relays on behalf of {UKERNA}.
ULCC's pilot {National Data Repository} service provides a
network-accessible digital archive and filestore, based on a
robotic tape system with 6 Terabytes of storage. Although the
data is stored on tape, you can access it very quickly, as if
it were on-line. It is made available to you via high-speed
links to the {JANET} and {SuperJANET} networks.
