several M28  SPO printers that were tagged as spares that evaporated in the 
move They were  scheduled to hit the dumpster, wouldn't be surprised if they 
missed.

That may have been dummied-up for the  photo.  They used a 28 RO tabletop
as the console printer on the B-220  - it sat on a stand of their own make
that was full of relays.  The  B-5500 we had at UCSC had a 33 KSR for the
console device, and there was  some mention in the maintenance docs about
it replacing an earlier electric  typewriter, believe it was Smith-Corona.
A Burroughs photograph of the  period shows the electric typewriter.

I'm  not sure when one was actually delivered.  Believe all the  B-5000s
were converted to 5500s, which involved a little additional  processor
logic and removal of the magnetic drums, with disks being  available.

Was it a 28 or a 35?  I remember seeing one once, but am not at  all
clear on which machine it was using.
