The 6th episode of Carl Sagan's /Cosmos/ has some loving shots of the
main computer room at JPL at the end of the 1970s. It's 38min into
this episode:

... and lasts a good 2-3min. There's a bit more later, but then, it's
Cosmos, the whole thing is extremely well-worth watching.
I'd be very interested if anyone could ID the systems, drives,
terminals and so on shown, though!
