it's the 70th anniversary of the IBM 305 RAMAC, the world's first hard drive! in celebration, here is a picture of a prototype RAMAC magnetic head.
nickel-sized round magnetic head with a tiny rectangular pole piece in the middle. it is mounted in a two-axis gimbal so it can rotate to align perfectly with the surface of the hard disk. on the back is a connection for an air line.

a circuit board with a d-shell connector with only 3 sockets. there's a bit of plastic around it marked HP, so presumably it is from some test equipment.
