For the Burroughs, look in the first few issues of '61 (I borrowed them from the university library and had to return them earlier today). You'll find a multi-page article describing the design and architecture of the 5000. There's a large pic with a layout of planning samples showing the TT on a metal cabinet, console height. Could be a 35, but given the flexibility of the 5000, who knows?
