I just ran across this page:
http://cryptome.info/0001/loc/loc-images.htm
It seems that LOC has been rather ham-handedly censoring some of its
online historical content. Of particular interest is a shot of
computer peripherals (printers, card readers, tape drives), all of
which appear to be vintage CDC gear (military versions of the 512
printer, 65x tapes, 405 card readers...). I don't know what the
mainframe behind this was, nor does it seem to be shown. Anyone have
any idea?
BTW, the TIFF images are 20MB each and very high quality--enough so
that I could read the CRT displays and the notice of "Volley Ball"
and "Hayride" on the bulletin board.
Cheers,
Chuck
