A coworker of mine showed me this link. Whatever it is looks pretty sweet,
but I don't think I've ever seen a similar machine. Anyone know what it
is? Is it even a computer, or some sort of teletype switching office?

A little guessing and searching on the "????AC" name in the booklet in
the first photo (I thought it was just an EIMAC tube manual at first
until I noticed there were 6 characters, not 5) turned up this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSIRAC
The track lighting on the ceiling kind of breaks the period
consistency, otherwise a lovely display.

Thanks! I could see that it ended in -AC but none of my guesses for the
first 4 letters came up with anything useful.

FWIW, a TRS (tape / teletype relay station) would have more teletypes.
Lots more. :-)
