I recently acquired a PDP-8/e with a TU56 and a PC04(I
think) with
reader only. I've also gotten a DEC rack, but only one set of rails
which I think are wrong and incomplete to boot. I've done some
searching
on bitsavers, but I've only found partial depictions of the actual
rails.
So, what I'm wondering is what does the rails for a PDP-8/e look like?
These are the ones I got (same rails, different angles):

Those are definitely not PDP-8/e rack slides. I pulled mine out a
bit and took some pics:

Every rack-mounted PDP-8/e I've seen has had slides like this.
These slides were made by ChassisTrak.
