Around 23:50 there's a diagram that clearly states GE 225. They show very little of the machines--the LGP-30, the 225 being unloaded and a brief shot of the rack with what appears to be the front panel, and a few seconds of the 635 in Kiewit. I find it interesting that one of my employer's competitors, which just sold us its entire US sales operation, owns DTSS.
