[Boatanchors] IBM Selectric Terminal

[rbethman]

The ONE in the computer van of the AN/TSQ-51 was the sole one available.

It sat on top of the mylar/paper tape reader/perforator.  When you stood 
at the terminal, your back was to the Hughes 3118B computer.  No EBCDIC 
was used!  Thank the computer Gods!
