sliding doors.
Were those the ones that were about waist high and the glass slide

I think he meant 2415 and dyslexically keyed in 2514. The tape drives
attachable to the first S/360s had 24xx machine numbers. We had a
2415 where I
first worked. The 25xx machine numbers were used for unit record
equipment
(e.g., 2501 card reader and 2540 card reader I think).
