The Honeywell 200 won an award from Industrial Design magazine for its
uniquely neat design.  For those who may have never seen one, I'll try to
describe.  The cabinets were all about 3 feet high and had Formica tops.
This was because the designer realized that in a computer room one thing
you never have enough of is counter space where you can put things.
The cabinets were raised off the floor on legs, so it was possible to
sweep under them.

Another award-winning design was the G.E. 400 family, which had vertical
cabinets fastened together at one edge so that as viewed from above it
could be a 3-pointed or 4-pointed star configuration.
