We used a 3741 at my previous job until 1992. It was a real trooper!

     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 ?
