Seems to be an office for processing credit card authorizations/transactions. Clip from the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Imagine working in an office full of beam spring keyboards!

That clip! So many keyboards, so many monitors, the entire "banking section", all connected to the computer.


OTOH, I have one laptop and 40+ keyboards, so who am I to complain?


Thanks for sharing, Ellipse.

This is amazing! So sad that they all went to the grinder somewhere.

Awesome! What a lot of 3277!

It's so beautiful

Maybe if we all work together we could build a room filled with beamsprings and accompanying female computer operators

I know of a similar video! Another room full of beamspring keyboards & terminals, however, this is more recent. These computers are not doing so well, though.

Holy shit. Someone needs to rescue those.

Who wants to take a trip to Italy with me? Lol

We could pay for the trip in beamspring revenue
