Ten-plus years ago, I was given an opportunity to scrap a Burroughs
machine of some kind. I don't think it was still running, and it
was the size of a small refrigerator. I pulled the interesting
chips and disassembled the open-air hard disk unit. It was covered in
a clear sheet plastic frame, sealed with snaps or Velcro, and
the 14" platters spun in the air like a turntable. I still have
the two platters on the wall.
