What is in picture 18? There is something very familiar with it. To me it
looks like the backplane of a PDP-9. The core memory stack in the top.

Compare with the RICM PDP-9:

I would be very interesting to see more pictures of the cabinet in picture
18.

I also would guess that the the cabinet with the A/D converter (AF01A) in
the top also hold a D/A converter (AA01A). It looks very much similar to
the one we have with our PDP-9.
