    Honeywell Information Systems had an advertising campaign in the early 70s which consisted of photographs of sculptures of various animals, made out of electronic parts. The animals were associated with various Honeywell computers. Since the totem animal of MIT is the beaver (it's on the class ring), they made a beaver to associate with Multics. Marketing also gave away nice heavy little pewter paperweights that represented the sculptures. (The eagle, representing FSO, was highly prized.) If you look very closely you can see the resistors and so on that the beaver's original was made of. They handed these out at the legendary appreciation dinner for the Multics developers in Boston in 1973 with some little card thanking the Society Of Beavers.

      "Nice Beaver" !!!! I think i would have left the resistors in their natural state tho!
      I did allot of work with honeywell components, around this same time frame, in large Commercial Buildings.
