I knew about the Illiac--I was acquainted with a few people on the
project.  I suspect that the tapes are far more pedestrian than
that--they're almost certainly 7-track.  Beyond that, nothing on the
labels that could be considered to be meaningful.

I'm wondering if these might be Univac 1100 series tapes.  I'll know
more when I get a chance to take a look at the things in a bit more detail
