Neat. Thanks again Al.
The CHM entry says:
Input and Output: Punched cards, paper tape, CRT
My little model looks like a tape drive. It is isn't it ?
It's interesting that the Navy still used these actively on ships until
the 1990's. I was going to say $500k was a lot of money but, seems like
they got enough use out of them.
Some interesting info here if anyone is curious :
