That big platter on the left looks almost like the Burroughs (IIRC) garage-style hard drive. The ones I remember had 4 platters like that for a total of ~~ 5 MB (~~ 1.25 MB per platter). Each "garage" was about 1' wide, and the units I saw bolted 4 or 5 garages together for 20 or 25 MB total. The drive was belt-driven with a big-ass motor in the bottom, and the belt was segmented with ~~ 3" pieces of leather held together with brass rivets. Ahh, the good old days when hardware was really built.
