What is this beautiful system? And what purpose does the extension serve?

It’s a Tektronix Display Terminal. I don’t know much expect the context from the photos!

Hmm. This is an interesting one. The image on the display is puzzling me. It's certainly not what a Tektronix DVST display would provide.

What's on the screen looks more like an image of a document, as if it were a microfiche reader or document scanner with an attached keyboard.

Perhaps it was misclassified, but then again “terminal” can mean everything. :·)

Ah, interesting. The first label describes it as the RAND Tablet, which seems likely. Here's another image of the RAND, and I think the screen and image looks similar.pic.twitter.com/I28rVjG5bm
