This unit would be used to store information, not unlike your memory stick, thumb drive, or camera memory card. The hard drive pictured above weighed over 1 ton, and was capable of storing only 5 Mb or data.
Now some 50 years later, for comparison, it would take over 1,000 of these units to store the information held in a modern thumb drive.
