Sloooowly I get stuff up on the website...

This URL is in the index, but I've added some photos. If you scroll down
there's some photos of the memory, heads, platter, scratches, the
caplugs, etc.
(After careful dust removal, I keep a lint-free washed towel over the
top of the memory assembly. No sense inviting more dust in there.)
Ok, for some reason I had in mind that this was a drum. I actually have
that drive in my collection. Yours is in WAY better shape though. I
think mine sat outside in the elements for a while before I got it.
It makes sense, since the drive was manufactured by Librascope-General
Precision (i.e. LGP). I found some marketing literature for it while
going through some documents at the Computer History Museum a while back.
I can make a copy for you if you like.
