I can't remember where I read this and I can't find a cite right away, but I bet someone can confirm-or-correct me: the 6-letter reservation code for your flight? That used to be an explicit pointer of memory in oldold Sabre.

The IBM 1301 disk manual (A22-6785), for the 7090 computer that SABRE was first used with seems to have a record address scheme that matches.(see page 10, Record Address) http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/7090/A22-6785_1301_1302_on_709x...

I really hope that’s true, it’s hilarious either way!
