the Big Red Switch gives them away as IBM 3278 mainframe terminals. Also the photo is flipped :)
I should have known you'd know :) Cheers!! Well that took all of 5 seconds!! :)
What's the other unit sitting to the left (er.. right) of each keyboard? An adding machine?
I've no idea, I assumed phone but maybe not.
I can't see a handset... but then again overly complicated office phones are my nemesis, so who knows?
Maybe it's a headset type
I’m interested, too. Maybe @daveshields will know?
