Pity the nameplate isn't readable.  The cabinet originally came from the
FAA ADIS or maybe BDIS system.  You can tell that from the labels on
the lower section of the cabinet that say H/L converter.  Those converters
were reperforator-transmitter sets using a BRPE punch and an LBXD reader,
receiving traffic off the high speed backbone circuit and relaying it to
the low speed area circuit.  The top section of the cabinet was originally
a cage containing a number of "shoe box" electronic packages connected 
with the tape equipment.  Obviously the current owner has converted it to
a simple storage cabinet.
