Vintage Control Data Hard Disk Pack IBM Award Clock Obscure USAINSCOM WWMCCS:
$395.00

Selling a very rare obscure US Army Cold War Era Data I was told is an IBM Removeable magnetic Disk Platter and disk that has been turned into a service award clock from service members to a retiring USAIMSCON,Worldwide Military Command and Control Systems as
Military Information Technology Division Colonel Alan H Byrne.
Fascinating souvenir from the beginning of the computer age and its uses by the military.
From Wikipedia:
\"The Worldwide Military Command and Control System, or WWMCCS /ˈwɪmɛks/, was a military command and control system implemented for the United States Department of Defense. It was created in the days following the Cuban Missile Crisis. WWMCCS was a complex of systems that encompassed the elements of warning, communications, data collection and processing, executive decision-making tools and supporting facilities. It was decommissioned in 1996 and replaced by the Global Command and Control System.\"
The Item is a Control Disk Pack and disk That is labeled United States Special Operations Command.
Here is a declassified document detailing the department and why it was created and lists the service member as Deputy Chief of Staff Information resource Management from June 1984 to May data disk has been turned into a clock with ones and zeros for time and has a United State Special Operations Command metal badge in the center. There is some foam under the disk to protect the clock mechanism. The Tray holder is intact but has a hole in the top and a sticker placed over the hole. I removed the handle so you can see how the handle was mounted through the sticker or paper emblem that was mounted over the hole. Looks like the handle had been remounted through the sticker which is damaged. I reattached the handle and took another picture. It appears somewhat crudely put together.In reality they were computer nerds probably and not clock makers LOL.
Amazing conversation piece for sure. I wonder if there is any data on the disk?Disk measures 14 inches across.
