Item Reference:

Machine Type:
Osprey
Serial Number:
  Early Development Disk That Became Redwing
  A two-linear-actuator disk that was the early development of what became Redwing. It was thought that two actuators were needed to get the required performance, but eventually Redwing was announced with a single linear actuator.

By this time the norm was for swinging arm actuators, so this was unusual for a Hursley storage product to have a linear actuator.
