70's view of Army Radar Installation (with computer gear)

I just ran across this page:

http://cryptome.info/0001/loc/loc-images.htm

It seems that LOC has been rather ham-handedly censoring some of its 
online historical content.  Of particular interest is a shot of 
computer peripherals (printers, card readers, tape drives), all of 
which appear to be vintage CDC gear (military versions of the 512 
printer, 65x tapes, 405 card readers...).  I don't know what the 
mainframe behind this was, nor does it seem to be shown.  Anyone have 
any idea?

BTW, the TIFF images are 20MB each and very high quality--enough so 
that I could read the CRT displays and the notice of "Volley Ball" 
and "Hayride" on the bulletin board.

Cheers,
Chuck
