In the deep recesses of my mind I seem to remember something about S/360

If I am right was this to create a stable power source at a certain

I didn't know about S/360 systems. Is that true for all of them? I once
worked on a 360 model 44 and I don't remember any motor-generators with that
one.
A well known machine from that era that uses MG sets is the CDC 6000 series
mainframes -- for power supplies, but not for motors.

Nor did the 20, 22, 25 and 30s I saw, but they where all low end
machines. I did see one big 360 with several frames of core but I don't
know if it had a MG or not.
