accumulator computer with a 12-bit memory address extended to 16-bits by
some kind of memory management unit.  It's not a PDP-8, but the front panel
construction is very much in the style of the classical 1965-vintage PDP-8
that I have worked on.  The PDP-5, PDP-6 and PDP-7 front panels are
different, aluminum, not black.  The PDP-9 and 10 didn't look like this
either.  I wonder if this was a 1965 DEC custom version of the 18-bit PDP-7
instruction set?

model 28 reader on the left, running at the more leisurely speed of such
devices.  It looks like high speed bursts of data punched on the BRPE are
being buffered by a loop of tape feeding the slower reader.
