5 feet tall is way too big for a Varian.. the V70 series are early 70's to
at least mid 80's machines, only maybe a foot tall (the CPU is what I am
speaking of, naturally). I know Univac kept making the V70's until at least
1984; they had to, due to their contract with the company my dad worked for
at the time, Auto-trol Technology. They integrated V70's (and 620 series
machines before that) into their CAD systems, and in some of the old stock
prospectuses(prospecti?) we have at home, it says that Sperry Univac had to
give Auto-Trol a minimum of 6 months notice before stopping production of
the V70 series. FWIW, was essentially Apollo Computer's first customer, and
Apollo's eventually became the basis for Auto-Trol's CAD systems.
