Pretty sure those are the connectors that went at the end of the (large)
cable that connected Unit Record equipment together; for instance connected
a Reproducing Punch to the Accounting Machine... The massive steel fixture
locked the socket and plug together. The cables I remember were about 1.5"
in diameter and fabric covered.
Ok, thats my best guess anyway.

Contacts for this patch panel
