Here it is in operation. On the right are actual programs that you can hold in your hand, namely decks of cards. You don't want to drop them though. On the left are magtapes. Up to 50 megabytes! Almost unlimited storage, for the time, the early 1970s. You put your card deck on the counter and a nice operator picks it up and puts it the card reader. An hour or two later you can pick up the printed results, if you were lucky and didn't have any errors.
This is in the 1990s and you can see the counter is gone and the sign is just decoration now. Hmmm, those guys look familiar...
Here it is in the first version of the Steele Lab.
And in the second and final version of the Lab.
Ready to go up in its new home on Chester.
The sign today.
