I saw an email posted to the predecessor mail list asking if anyone had a picture of an
IBM 4506 terminal. I was looking through the September 1973 issue Modern Data and saw an
article on page 70 about the New York Times’s indexing efforts. It said that they were
using IBM 4506 terminals and it has a picture of a large workroom (identified as “The
Times index room”) with a bunch of terminals which I assume must be 4506’s (although the
caption does not explicitly state that). The magazine is available on BitSavers. Look for
the issue with file name Modern_Data_1973_07.pdf.
