Picture from 1954 Popular Mechanics Magazine

[John Lawson]

  A previous post gave the actual photo (from the Rand Corp) - this is the 
secondary steerage station from a submarine, installed in the engine 
room.. the 'steering' wheels are for steering and up/down, if I read the 
caption properly.

   And it's not a very good fake, either - as the piece of greenbar hanging 
out of the Decwriter appears to be either going into, or coming out of, 
the case near the keyboard... not the paper slot which is, of course, 
underneath the machine.

    And we've all seen enough pictures of 1950s computers - how many of 
them had that many power meters and pressure guages on 'em...?


    Cheers

John
