     I remember this stuff. Big clunky satisfying noises came out of 'em 
     every time you hit the enter key, and an even bigger satisfying clunk 
     when the m/c switched the floppy (8" were they?) through a few 
     degrees.
     
     The screen was set into the table top facing flat upward toward the 
     ceiling, and the characters were displayed upside down and the wrong 
     way round. A small square box was set directly over the screen, and 
     this held a mirror at approx 45/50 degrees over the screen. From the 
     operators sitting position they viewed the (3 line ?) screen thru' the 
     mirror, like a periscope in reverse. The dual one allowed two 
     operators to sit on different sides in a sort of 'Lover's Seat' 
     configuration.
     
     Ahhh the old days. '77 ?
