You have no idea how many hours I spent typing away on one of these critters!
Trivia question: how does one insert a character or delete a character on a punched card?
Some new seating will bring a bit more life to the forlorn plaza at Mies van der Rohe's IBM Building along the Chicago River.

An earth shaking requiem for the IBM computer,
for the mankind and for the planet.
String orchestra plays with the electric sounds,
singing computer... very impressive.
The front card is a Standard Modular System (SMS) format card from an IBM System/360 and 370 2420 tape drive. The SMS format was pre System/360. The circuit card at the back including the MST modules was developed for the System/370, but is very similar to the System/360 format.

Die alten Produktionshallen der IBM am Nahmitzer Damm werden abgerissen.
Hier stehen noch zwei Türme der Energieversorgung des IBM-Werkes.
Nach meinen nicht weiter recherchierten Erinnerungen, wurden hier ganz früher IBM Schreibmaschinen montiert. Später war es eine Endmontage von IBM-Festplatten, von der das zu vergleichende IBM-Tandemwerk mit den gleichen Produktionsstrassen in Mexiko war.
Ab etwa 1990 wurde die Festplattenproduktion hier eingestellt und nach Mainz und Ungarn verlagert.
Heute produziert IBM gar keine eigenen Festplatten mehr und hat des Festplattengeschäft an Hitachi verkauft.
Über die Zwischennutzung bis zum Abriss weiss ich nichts.
An der Tür ist ein Klingelschild zur "Sparkassen IT".
Es wird hier ein Gewerbepark entstehen. Der Aufschwung naht.
Ich finde die Gesamtfläche der verschwundenen Hallen gewaltig. Noch ist ein Vergleich über Google Earth und MS Vogelperspektive in LiveView möglich.

Paper tape readers were pretty common on minicomputers back in the '70s and '80s. This one is rather different as it is designed to be attached to an IBM mainframe (I'd never even heard of mainframe-attached paper tape readers or writers before I came across this creature).
The top of an IBM 4758-002. This device is FIPS 140 Level 4 certified. Note the can on the front, containing the potted electronics that handle the sensitive cryptographic material. Also worth mentioning is the DE9 port on the PCI riser. This was the trusted I/O path for loading key material straight into the OS running on the device.
I think this is actually a PC/AT, but, honestly, my memory of such things has grown dim.
I have earlier versions of these pictures here on Flickr, but they're low-resolution. I don't know why I didn't post the hi-res versions.

Watson, powered by IBM POWER7, is a work-load optimized system that can answer questions posed in natural language over a nearly unlimited range of knowledge.
The IBM T221 WQUXGA 9 MP monitor (3840x2400). Twice the resolution of the Apple 30", packed into a 22" monitor. The small window is a full-sized 80x24 xterm with font "fixed".
This building, designed for IBM as temporary offices around 1970 is now used by the Inland Revenue.
