This was the machine I learned to program on. (What was then Humble Oil & Refining donated it to my high school. I was the only student curious enough to work on it.) I still have one of each of the vaccum tube plugin cards. Oh, and a copy of the technical manual with the FE's notes :-) The last time I tried to gather together information about it (see URL below), there were four still known. Even as late at 20 years ago there had been others, at McGill University in Canada, and one in Australia: http://obscurecomputers.org/g15/index.html > Not sure tough if the rack on the right belongs to it.

I'm not at the stage of my life where I could take on this task. But I would be glad to assist anyone actually working on one. mcl
