CDC hard disk drive

Just a flash of memories lead me down the NCR search path

Yes, they are disk platters, probably 9 x 12" disks, each held approximately 7mb.
This is an old ICL 4902 I once owned:

Guess how much ram it had?

It's an ashtray that sucks in the ashes.

A really big ashtray. Maybe for cigars.

Aren't you glad the Japanese learned to make those things smaller?
I was going to say that your door stop was a drum of storage platters. But, somebody else beat me to it. Alas never mind.

Oh btw, they do make larger versions of your construction equipment.

Of course it is! Haven't you ever seen an Australian home before?

And look at the working men: In Australia, physical labour is undertaken by all. The young, the old, the fit, the weak, the newborn. Those who are facing imminent death from whatever cause, haul their own deathbed into their house! It is the Aussie way!

Mighty close, it's Wang Computers not CDC, it measures 15" diameter and has something like 398 MB of storage, and weighs a (metaphoric) ton.

First prize to longam.
