Fascinating, if it came from MIT is was probably part of the MIT
"Whirlwind" making it an extremely valuable artifact. Too bad you didn't
pick it up, I'm guessing it would fetch over $10K at auction.

FWIW there was what must've been a 30" disk
platter
at the MIT Flea this weekend, mounted on its
center hub. Never saw a disk larger than 14"
before. Didn't get the manufacturer but the
price was $40.00 and the seller was Frank Fink.
