Future reference: a close, straight-on pic of dial/handle would be ideal. Just like you did with label. Not sure when Rem/Rand/Sperry existed. Possibly '50s-mid '70s (?). Do know of a Sperry Univac company in Minneapolis/St. Paul area that dealt in/with computers. Believe they folded in early '80s. If Yale is stamped on dial nose then the lock should be a Rem Rand 073, IF the handle is silver. If it is stamped S&G then lock should be a Rem Rand 074 (S&G 6727 lock). There may be times when this isn't always the case. The Rem Rand locks 072 1/2, 072 3/4, 073, 074 are all indirect drive. Each wheel on these locks has a primary gate and a secondary gate. Primary gates are not cut all the way through each wheel, but the secondary gates are. Locks stamped Yale were made exclusively for Rem Rand. May be a bit confusing.
