@schuth @smokey @cn I'm very familiar with the old parts of the CS building. My degrees are in CS. IBM was the original developer of that clock system and purchased by Simplex in 1958. IBM was invested in MICR as part of their banking equipment, and for many years our (horrible Rochester MN city seal had MICR lettering on it in reference to the work done at the IBM Rochester lab where I worked for many years. My guess is that this is one of the original clocks in the building and someone picked it because it looked "computery". 😎
