Modern Marvels: Computers -- Can you identify these items?

Unfortunately, there are no mainframe cabinets anywhere in the photo-- what you see in the foreground are 3000-series controllers, but that doesn't mean a thing, as both the 3000 and 6000 series used 3000 peripherals for tape., card and printing. The 6000 used a 6681/2 channell converter, which then would interface to, say, a 3423 tape controller. The cabinet sitting next to the 415 card punch in the middle foreground is probably a 3447 punch controller. Maybe Billy Petit can recognize some of the cabinets--it's far too fuzzy to make out any numbers. Cheers, Chuck
