Ah! Ok!  
heard of  it  but never seen an installation.
Great  find!
I am a little  foggy on it  but I somehow  remember  it  being able to 
control external devices  for process use
vs. the usual IBM stuff that  was just 'data processing'

The IBM  Series/1 was introduced in 1976 and withdrawn in 1988.  There  were
originally 2 models and another 2 models were added later.  I  always knew
them by their code names — different varieties of peaches…so  named because
they were developed by IBM’s GSD division which was  headquartered in
Atlanta, GA (even though all of the development was done  in Boca Raton, 
FL).
