Classic old military computers and machines -- lots of buttons, knobs, and lights. General purpose data processors. Typewriters. Electronic brains will take guesswork out of decisions. High speed information retrieval.
Particularly note the **HUGE** hard drive and the slow-motion "stylus" giving/retrieving information. A marvelous precursor to today's hard drives. Excellent find.
Man, that shit is the next gen yo!

@wrf1984 As far as I can tell, that is actually the _first_ hard drive, the IBM 305 RAMAC. Total capacity 5 MB.
