Ah, but do you recall the audible alarm? ;-)

The 1052-7 was the system console on the low end S/360 processors; the
2250 was the system console, as I recall, on the 360/75, 360/91,
360/95 and 360/195; the 360/85 had a one of a kind system console.
However, with MCS you could add other devices, include additional 2250
and 2260 displays, and you probably wouldn't route much to your 1052
if you had a faster alternate console.
