My latest model! This is an IBM Series\1 with a 5251 terminal. This is a 1:12 scale model! Any of you worked with or on one if these back in the days? What was it used for where you worked?

@6502B We didn't have that, we had something I think a little newer... a System 3/15 with a 3741 data station and five removable disk packs... two of which we rotated out for backup purposes. And by "we" I meant the county bank for whom I was an intern for a school year... oh, and we also had a chain printer, and a big cheque sorter. It's where I learnt just how efficient a radix sort can be....
