This discussion is a really good example, of how we have to explain 20th century tech now, here in the 21st century. All the context of our (my) 20th C. analog world is becoming lost. Funny thing: AC line voltage is still 60Hz, and 50Hz in the UK. The last remnants of analog, struggle to survive in the digital age...
I"ve been back-filling my Web site, to explain previously common tech, like:

And of course of long-standing presence on my site:

I guess analog TV is next.
So from my Flintstone's view: this is what preserving 20th Century vintage computing looks like.
