I actually have one of these... part of a Gates / ATC APC-10 automation 
system...

Five Carousel 250s

Three Scully 270s

And a Criterion cart machine for the BIG (NAB "C", or Fidelipac 1200) carts.

I just bought a new digital camera - as soon as it arrives, I'll snap 
some pix.....

BTW - ever notice how Fidelipac's original numbering scheme was actually 
how much tape could be (nominally) loaded into the cart?
