Does anyone have any idea as to the actual hardware

I used an IBM 7094 II back around 1965 using both FORTRAN
and assembly language, but that was only 50 years ago.
There was no operating system, just a batch stream of one job
at a time. All I/O was via a 1401 for both input and output.
But it did work well for that era.
In 1970, at Goddard Space Flight Center, Space Sciences Data Center, we
used FORTRAN on a 7094 with a 360/30 for I/O. But we also used FORTRAN
on several 360/9x machines, and sometimes APL on time sharing (selectric
terminal)
I wonder when the 7094s finally got retired.
