Its a hard disk in 1956....

The Volume and Size of 5MB memory storage in 1956.

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.

Makes you appreciate your 4 GB jump drive, doesn't it?

In 1956 Boeing introduced the 707 but I suspect this was a cargo plane post war, so had to have been a 133, maybe a Constellation. It does look to have been a pressurized cabin.
