I recently stumbled across a early hard drive platter
that appears,
based on measurements, to be an original RAMAC platter. Very little
comes up in Google beyond basic measures (diameter of 24" and a head
motion of 6".) I'm curious if there was anything out there that had
similar measurements. I did find a photo on facebook but it clearly
has different measurements.
I recall seeing a CDC platter at an early VCFmw that would have been of
similar size. I can't get back to any reasonable quantitative
measurement at this remove.

I imagine someone lurking about has CDC background and can identify.
