Every manufacturer had their own version of the hard tape cases. 3M,
for exmaple, used a rubber "boot" in the center of the case that
expanded when a "plug" was depressed. Squeeze tabs/push buttons in the
center were also used.
Sad that most of the hard cases were junked when the "Wright Line"
hanging strips came in.

Yeah, a 360/50. When all the tapes are organized and color matched to the computer, you
know it?s just a photo-op of a fake data center, or at best a real one with many hours of
preparation for a beauty shot. Nice picture though!

It could be the 'white room'. This was a windowless machine room IBM set up for
marketing and product photography of their
systems in the 1960s. I think it was located in NY. There was only a paragraph or two
about the white room in (IIRC) the book
'The Interface: IBM and the Transformation of Corporate Design' by John Harwood.
There happened to be a copy in the Uni of
Queensland bookshop a couple years ago. I spotted it on the shelf and thumbed through it
at the time, but it had so little
on what interested me (and I suspect cctalk readers) relative to the cost I didn't buy
it so I'm only going on memory here.

That's an IBM publicity photo. Don't expect anything real
in them.

That photo must be making the rounds; I found it in an ED article by
Bill Wong in my inbox today:
