I've got a 5.25" factory-labeled Compugraphic diskette in the 
collection here (offhand, I don't recall the model number).  And 
don't forget the Varityper--another large system of about the same 
time.  About the size of a chest freezer.  Hard-sector 8" diskettes 
and software called CompSet, IIRC.

I used to be fascinated by the old Linotype hot-metal machines 
myself.  ETAOIN SHRDLU.
