And Burroughs, too. They also built large fixed-head disk drives for OEMs

There
were a number of manufacturers early on. Rice University
may have had a Bryant (sp?) drive at one time. When I arrived
in 1973 there was a spare platter collecting dust in a storage
area.
Bryant made early drives for CDC, the 6603 if I remember right. Those
have quite large platters.
