A type of container used to hold hazardous substances. For HRS purposes, drums are standard 55 - gallon cylindrical containers.
Before there were disks there were drums. Drums were large steel cylinders with ferro-magnetic coatings. The DEC-10 had a head-per-track drum, which meant there was a recording head for each track of recorded information, resulting in 0 seek time (but you still had to wait for the desired bits to rotate into position). This was used as the swap device (where the jobs lived when not in memory, this was before virtual memory became popular), as it was much faster than the movable head disks of the time. Drums were rather fragile, and tended to have physical head crashes if disturbed.
