This is the famous B-205 Drum Drive. You can see the
read/right heads numbered on the exterior of the drive.
This device stored a whopping 4,000 words!
Here is the B-205's CPU, I count over 600 vacume tubes here.
The CPU on the left with the drum drive on the lower

A close up of the programmers panel. Also more of the
CPU is visible to the right of the panel.
The maintenance panel.
The manuals for the B-205.

The Sci-Fi buffs will recognize the B-205 Console.
The back side of the B-205 Tape Drive, looking through
