Hello I am currently tasked with presenting a series of talks on the general subject of 'mainframes' from a historical perspective.
I can find plenty of pictures and movies of 360 front panels, various disk drive models and printers, but try as I might, I have been unable to track down any movies of a 2501 or 2540 actually in operation. Equally, there's very little available regarding open-reel tape drives. Trying to describe how these things worked in detail without a movie to watch is stretching my abilities a bit. I'm hoping to find the kind of movie files that might be classified as 'operator training' (or perhaps 'engineer training'). If anyone knows of a collection of such files somewhere, I'd appreciate being directed to it.
