Original Caelus Bakelite hard disk stack miniature prototype model
- N.p.: Jupitor Corporation, 1967
N.p.: Jupitor Corporation, 1967. Vintage Bakelite prototype model hard disk pack, created circa 1967. Small printed label of Caelus Memories Incorporated adhered to the bottom of the canister, with a small engraving on the bottom crediting manufacturer Jupitor [sic] Corporation in Japan.
Caelus was a start-up created around 1966, of note initially as an early supplier of "IBM clone" (IBM compatible) disk packs. The disks, also known as platters, were typically supplied with a protective canister featuring a lifting handle, as shown here. The model, a miniature representation of the 14-inch hard disks used by IBM, was likely created for a trade show.
Approximately six inches in diameter. Near Fine.
