1. washing machine
1. Old-style 14-inch hard disks in floor-standing cabinets. So
called because of the size of the cabinet and the ‘top-loading’
access to the media packs — and, of course, they were always set on
‘spin cycle’. The washing-machine idiom transcends language
barriers; it is even used in Russian hacker jargon. See also
walking drives. The thick channel cables connecting
these were called bit hoses (see
hose, sense 3). 2. [CMU] A machine used exclusively for
washing software. CMU has clusters of these.
