Gigantic disk.

That looks like around a 14" platter...

I'm impressed with how reflective the platter surface is.

The pair of old Morrow Designs Thinker Toys 14" drives (actually Shugart if you pop 'em open) I ran across aren't nearly as reflective. They're also belt-driven, like the mystery IBM drive in the picture.

Does he know the capacity? That could date the drive.
 
I can't get the pictures to load. The webpage loads fast enough but the pictures don't load at all. Can someone post a picture so I can see what you are talking about?
 
You should be prompted to either save or open a file w/ no extention. open it with a web browser or a photo-viewing program. More preferably "Windows Picture & Fax Viewer"...
 
I had access to a free "glass" cased hard drive labeled and had a little connector that looked like scsi 6yrs ago, turned on end it stood 4ft tall, you could see all the many platters inside. If I weren't an ideot I would have gotten a couple friends to help me load it. At the time I didn't pay much attention to it or to its model number (didn't notice one) It was laying around with some old 8'x6' mainframe enclosures that were being scrapped. I should have paid more attention I guess
 
The drive looks, to me, like it is from an IBM System/34 or System/36.
