[QUOTE="spiney, post: 125892, member: 192438"] Nope, it's a steering wheel (USA, so left hand drive!). Impossible to see where you're going, over top of cabinet, so monitor is obviously for tv picture (like driving an SPV, in Captain Scarlet). (Sperry-Rand manufactured the Univac, first ever "commercial" computer, which famously correctly predicted the 1952 Eisenhower presidential victory live on tv. After which, in 1960s sci-fi tv, computers were always banks of flashing lights and tape drives!). [/QUOTE]
