These are more parts to the puzzle I don't actually have an answer for.
The disk is some sort of timekeeping mechanism. I loved the aesthetic of the machine, but I've lost my notes explaining the history and significance of the device.
I took these pictures in the Aarhus Clock Museum -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Town,_Aarhus
If anyone from Aarhus, Denmark runs across this photo, do you mind running over to Old Town and telling me what this machine does?
Thanks!

It's a 100 megabyte drive--yes, MB, not GB--manufactured in 1991. And it still works after this ordeal!

A floppy disk, or diskette, is a disk storage medium composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).
Prototype 4x4 block for the matrix 8x16 with color disks. This way I can use colored discs with the pic and place robot. The color of the discs is displayed on the neo-pixel matrix. There is still a lot of work to be done for the supply and removal of the color discs. With an I2C color detector, I should be able to sort them and put them on the right place.
As shown in the photo, you can transport the small discs quite easily, even vertically. This is because internally they contain a small neodym magnet.
My pic and place header has already been modified to take these discs and place them in the 8x16 matrix. With RoboPro, I can make the color drawing. For the pixel color there is a choice of 8 predefined colors.
500 MB IDE drives from an old Compaq server.
Whilst recycling an old Compaq server, I thought some of the parts needed to be recorded in history. This is one of the pictures.
If anyone knows any background about the item, please send me a comment.
Photo taken with a Canon 30D in Auto mode. The lens was a 18-55 mm and and the item was placed into a light tent.

Remember disk film? It was available in the early '80s when our kids were born. For this Christmas our daughter asked for digital copies of the family photos which were on disk film and 35mm film. I have a 35mm film scanner but it doesn't handle disk film so I decided to take pictures of the negatives with a digital camera. After trying my various cameras, lenses, closeup attachments and teleconverter the best rig is the Sony A300 with its kit zoom lens set at it's maximum of 70mm. To make it macro capable I used an adaptor ring to attach to it face to face an old Yashica Auto Yashinon-DX F2 50mm lens from a Yashica J-4 35mm SLR which was my dad's camera when I was growing up.
After shooting a 15 exposure disk on a light table with the white balance on the camera set to 2500K the images were opened in Paint Shop Pro X on the desktop computer. The process then was to straighten, crop, invert the colors to make a positive and adjust the white balance.
To get the best image quality the camera was set to aperture priority F8, ISO100, self timer to reduce camera shake while on the tripod, auto expose set to center weighted and auto focus. 12 disks have been processed so far and the cd is on its way to my daughter. I enjoyed the project especially since I got to relive all those precious moments.

I love this piece that makes it obvious that those "cherries" are DISK's work.
