Note that the H742/H7420 bulk power supply use up to five regulator assemblies (max four for the H7420-E and H7420-F) of various types, the H750 uses one regulator, and the H765 uses two regulators:

H744+5V 25A
H745-15V 10A
H746+23.2V 1.6A, +19.7V 3.3A, -5V 1.6Aused for MOS memory in 11/45
H754+20V 8A, -5V 1-8Aused for MF11-U/UP
