The image caption refers to GIOCs; they where the I/O controllers, later
known as IOMs.

According to multicians.org, Ford Motor Company had 4 systems, with a total
of 19 CPUs, 48 megawords of memory, 10 FNPs (serial line controllers), 76
disk drives, 30 tape drives, 5 printers.

Probably bigger the the artist's conception.
