IBM Cottle Rd facility was about 15 north of Morgan Hill

Thanks for first-hand clarification. I remember the production line as being impressive and clearly understood that IBM was mighty proud of those babies.

The visit lead to other discussions including why IBM was not a union facility.

That was back when they hand wound the recording heads. There is still a very impressive production line there still making wafers for the read-write heads.
