were side skins. I also was given a genuine IBM timeclock, possibly as
old as the late '30's, as it eschews the IBM name for "International"
Speaking of IBM timeclocks, look at this baby in the IBM museum in
Singelfinded, Germany:

If you ever get out to the southern region of Germany (Singelfinden is two
hours northwest of Munich) I highly recommend you take the time to visit
the IBM Museum there. Hundreds of IBM machines going back to the
Hollerith census tabulating machine (well, a replica at least), ALL
WORKING!!
