Autologic APS Micro-5 newspaper phototypesetters, 1000 lines/min., 57-pica width
    two units:  s/n #055 - 27MB font disk
            s/n #118 -  5MB font disk
    Intel MDS backplane and computer boards, hi-res CRT display onto film,
    includes most schematics, paper-tape input, last used in early '80s,
    vintage ~1980, chest-high units on casters, ~5' long, ~500 pounds,  
    one magtape of 1,000s of fonts (may be the most valuable of all of it,
    but no, I don't have any details of its proprietary format, though I
    know that Autologic's font format has been cracked and copied).
[Rumor is that in the 1980s, the LOS ANGELES TIMES used four of these to
typeset their newspapers; two online, and two as backup.]

NuArc vertical copy camera -- VV-1418 with vacuum plate and 4 arc lights.
