Description

The object is an acoustic coupler modem built in to a wooden case. There is a carrying handle on the top of the case. The top swings up to open. On the back of the object is a power plug, and RS-232 connector, and a fuse. A sticker on the bottom of the object indicates that it was repaired Aug 16, 1972.

Another sticker reads USAEC UCLLL, which probably stands for "U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, University of California, Lawrence Livermore Labs."
