Almost certainly not a drum (it would need to be many times bigger, I think, to hold the
motor and the heads, given that it's tube-driven). My semi-educated guess would be a
Williams tube (CRT), but I suppose it could be a mercury delay line.

Hi
This link is making the rounds:

But what type of memory is it? Delay line, CRT tube, Drum?
Bonuspoints if the machine can be identified :)
Cheers,
