Grabbed a copy to show students. Hope that's OK!
No problem. There's a nice one of the entire system on the NMoC site:

Despite the 'JR' in the filename I'm pretty sure that it's not one that I
took, though - I don't think it was long after the system was brought
into the main museum hall that I hopped across the Pond for good, and so
all of my photos show the machine in a much less presentable state :-)
Oh, I've got one here of the HDA from an RA81 drive too which they might
like (IIRC that was 14" as well):

.... and one of a much larger platter:

That one was at the Centre for Computing History, but I don't recall what
system it was from now (although I could ask).
Are you on Facebook, BTW? I have a group with various ex-UKC CompSci
students on there...
Indeed I am. Chuck me an invite or however all that malarkey works (I
generally can't find anything on facebook since they imposed that whole
timeline thing on everyone!)
cheers
