A strange CDC160A

[jdreesen]

Saw a CDC160A for the first time yesterday. But what is it with that big rack of PCB's on the backside / on top ? Never seen this on one of the online pictures. That rack also contains a corememory. Isn't the real computer supposed to be in the lower right cabinet ? The lower left cabinet does contain the papertape punch, as expected.

It looks to me like the innards of the machine have been mounted for display in an exhibit, perhaps. That sure looks like the card cage that would be visible inside the 160A if the rear panel were opened.
