What "CDC terminal"?

Well, "terminal" might not have been accurate; it might have been a console
or even something else altogether
OK, yeah, CDC mainframes had a really fancy console. I thought you
might have been talking about a PLATO terminal, which is why I asked.
But it so happens I still have the 'desk' and
some of its innards; the
model numbers are:
Control Data Corporation
QSE 1253 Display Controller
QSE 1255 Display Equipment
Yeah, this looks like a console. I believe they did have an
integrated 'desk' into which all the display guts were housed.
