Wow, that's really great! I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I didn't get
Ken's shirt until 30 minutes into the talk....

Saw the shirt right away, even understood the greek.

I found that particularly clever. It's not Greek, as far as I can
tell, but who cares? You are not expected to understand it.
Of course, the real clue was the code (Sixth Edition
/usr/sys/ken/slp.c, lines 325 and on).

That photo is not Belle, or at least not the Belle machine that the article
is about. Belle is in a white wooden box about the size of a bar fridge,
with a stylized blue and gold logo on the side.

Hi Rob,

article is about. Belle is in a white wooden box about the size of a
bar fridge, with a stylized blue and gold logo on the side.
Here's a picture that matches. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=23230
The one in the article seems to come from

Ken tells me (and I now remember) that the photo in the article was of a
sort of input device, a board built by Dave Hagelbarger that sensed where
the pieces were so could digitize moves.

My extremely fuzzy recollection is that Dave had an LC tuned circuit in the
base in each chess piece and an antenna coil underneath each square on the
board.
