YOu are right, but it is still a doubble floor tile -
The lower side is
typical metal coated to reduce (radio) noise, transmited from the large
antennas ...err... cables below :) - and floor tiles wit carpet tiles
atop are usual for 'high quality' computer rooms - don't forget, banks,
insurence companies and similar sites have a standard to maintain...
Well my computer room at work was originally designed to house our
DECsystem-10 (long departed) and had red carpeted floor tiles (I assume to
contrast against the blue of the -10) and the bright orange/yellow chairs
(the '70s have a lot to answer for, along with my boss who chose the
colours). The carpet was removed sometime later and replaced with vynal
tiles as DEC FS claimed the dust from the carpets was causing head crashes
on the RP05s
