circa 1972, 70xx emulation on 360/50 roughly doubled the number of frames. We got a 50 with emulation on it because the lessor had to scramble when the union people delivering a 50 refused to let non-union people who knew what they were doing unload a van. A 50 dropped on a sidewalk face down is an interesting sight. Every one of those little levers bent 90 degrees. IBM maint CEs got the thing working again. Good show!
And to show that some people are not trainable, the people removing the old 40 from the building -- dropped it on a sidewalk face down!
