Would that Chess Machine be the one called CHEOPS?

It's also possible that it was connected to AI at one point, and MC later on.
I have this bit set about being told that

I don't know for sure about the CONS, but I'm pretty sure no CADR's were wired
at the AI Lab; ISTR that some outside fabricator did them. (Probably a

Umm, because I saw them every day, for several years? :-) (They were
scattered all over the 9th floor at Tech Sq.)
Admittedly, it's hard to tell a picture (from the front, where one can only
see a giant wire-wrapped assembly) of the CONS machine from

The picture posted earlier of the machine in the MIT Archives:

That might actually be the CONS Machine (effectively a prototype CADR);
Greenblatt looks awfully young in that picture! Also, I don't recall him

Does anyone have close up pictures of the MIT CADR? Boards, the
maintaince indicator display, anything interesting and close up. LM-2
and and Lambda would also be of curiosity.
