Mark is certainly correct that AAA (although I think A tended to stand
for auditing back then) was the symbolic link for the heads.
I have at least heard the second interpretation before, and it seems

two bloody stumps. Unfortunately I cannot remember where I heard the
second interpretation; certainly not here at MIT.
