as i recall, the mobile lasted a fair while.
presotto sometimes lifted it up at the top crossbar, but when we noticed that
the top wire holding it up (into the ceiling) was noticeably stretching, it was taken down.

It even crashed once while the DEC repairman was standing next to it trying to figure out why the previous pack had died. We collected a few dead packs, and they were forming a pile. Lillian, never one to miss an opportunity, suggested building a mobile.

I always forget that TUHS can't handle pictures. Perhaps Warren will let my
post through, but in any case here's a link to the mail, reformatted but
otherwise intact, with photos, on Mastodon.

To pique your interest, here's the first paragraph.

*In August 1981 we had a persistent problem with the RP06 on our PDP-11/70
crashing disks. It even crashed once while the DEC repairman was standing
next to it trying to figure out why the previous pack had died. We
collected a few dead packs, and they were forming a pile. Lillian, never
one to miss an opportunity, suggested building a mobile.*

Lillian was a real pioneer. She began collaborating at the Labs in the mid
1960s.
