A friend has a core stack from the one we used to have in Bloomington, IN...
as well as a platter from one of the Bryant drives. I have a roll
of black, blank, oiled (pretty dry now) paper tape from the CDC's
high-speed punch/reader. And my manuals, still... and the emulator,
under construction, *slowly* under construction...

that was a 6/7/8/9 punch in column 1...
