A cheaper printer also became available: the 501 drum

At the University of Missouri, Rolla, I had an orphaned CDC badged
printer. Inside nestled among the electronics was a very solid and
beautifully cast and chromed Holley Carburetor print mechanism. No idea
where it came from it was "abandoned" and I adopted a lot of stuff along
the way. Never saw it running or had any print samples with it to judge.
