Re: What is this?



Tell me about the grey box...does it look old and well made, or does it
look like a post 1950 packing crate that has been painted gray, or is
that grey. Does it have a hole in the center as if it rotated?

My first guess is that it is an early hard drive disk, but that of course
is on the basis of almost no data.

cheers,

joe
