Ever wonder what
Unicomp, our favorite current manufacturer of genuine buckling-spring keyboards, looks like down there in Lexington, Kentucky?
Tonight it occurred to me that we could at least see it from the outside,

From the air, you can see it's a pretty big place:
Of course it was built to accommodate IBM's volume of keyboard production, so it's hard to say how much of it Unicomp actually uses. But it probably takes about the same amount of space to make a BS board as it always has.
Literally millions of keyboards were loaded up along that rail siding over the years (including some particularly pulse-quickening ones, LOL).
Approaching from the street:
Wonder if you can walk in, order a keyboard, and have them make it for you on the spot? It'd be fun to try.
