Ken tells me (and I now remember) that the photo in the article was of a
sort of input device, a board built by Dave Hagelbarger that sensed where
the pieces were so could digitize moves.

That photo is not Belle, or at least not the Belle machine that the
article is about. Belle is in a white wooden box about the size of a
bar fridge, with a stylized blue and gold logo on the side.
Here's a picture that matches.
