The collective mind of the web is forgetful :-) Unless a site provides
references, take the info with a grain of salt.

Here's part of a conversation between our own Don Maslin and somebody who
was actually there:

Zenith won a couple of huge gov't contracts with that machine (including
the IRS), which explains both why they're so easy to find and why there
were two models -- Z170 and Z171 (I don't remember which was the gov't
model).
