I got a couple of good ones, thanks. One is the one I was thinking of, the
other is a user's shot of his own machines with the lights going.

As I've written before, one of these is the exact one from the photo on the
back cover of the large-format "CPU Wars" comic. Both of them were originally
phototypesetters from the Columbus Dispatch. There's three racks of S and R
cards below the CPU in each rack that I'm told is probably the I/O circuitry
for the typesetting hardware.
