I purchased a Computer Link Pack inspector about 2
months ago on Ebay.
I just got a junk pack to play with this week (same vendor). It is marked
"Master Alignment Pack" and is declassified navy badged. Anyway though
people might get a kick out of it.
I would love to have a real use for it, but it is just for
collection and display
purposes.

That's interesting. That green sticker on the pack says
"Unclassified" doesn't it? That's very strange, I wonder what kind
of system it was in. The only systems I know of with packs like that
would have requirements for the packs to be destroyed. Is there any
clue as to what hardware it was for? It looks a *LOT* like the ones
we used on Honeywell DPS-8's.
