I was a FE on the IBM 7094 in 1963 and 1964. At that time Lockheed (Mountain
View) had an IBM 1301 Disk (56 MB, Moving Head Disk, 156K char/sec) and an
IBM 2320 Drum (830K char/sec) attached to an IBM 7631 Controller connected to
an IBM 7909 Data Channel.
For the 1301 take a look at:

As you can see, the disks were huge!!!
