[From Brian Wichmann quoting Bill Findlay: This is Glasgow computer room pre-Egdon upgrades.]
[From Bill Findlay himself: (a) It isn't the GU computer room, it's an EE promotional picture, AFAICS
(b) It isn't "pre-Egdon upgrade", it is an Egdon-capable machine.
(c) It's not from Bill Findlay (i.e. me)!
KDF9 magnetic tapes recorded 6 bit characters using dual-redundant coding with a parity and a clock track for each copy, i.e. 16 tracks!]
