Here's a scan - and special bonus audio tracks - of a brochure and 7"

"Data on a Platter" from a company called EG&G (anyone heard of them?)
describes their vinyl (as in analog audio record) data storage scheme
and how it will fit into your business.
Groovy.
"EG&G (anyone heard of them?)"
The 'E' in "EG&G" is for Harold Eugene "Doc" Edgerton, who is famous
for his pioneering work in strobe photography. He was quite a legend
as a professor at MIT.
Yup, I got a tour of MIT, and at one point the guide left me
and my parents in a room. The walls were lined with
glass-front cabinets, filled with hunting rifles. I was
baffled for a bit, and then realized "WOW, this is Harold
Edgerton's lab!!!"
EG&G is Edgerton, Germeshausen and Grier, Inc. I don't know
much about the other two guys.
