The wallet open to reveal a stack of vertical paper "index cards" and, on the opposite side of the wallet, large magnetic tape belts - the 'dictabelts' the IBM 224 records onto.A white gloved hand holding the dictabelts for scale. Their length is just under twice the width of a human hand.The white gloved hand holding up the dictabelts, now removed from inside the wallet. They are loops of material, and look like they might be big enough to fit on someone's head like a crown (or 1980s exercise headband)Black vinyl rectangular wallet with an IBM logo on it.
