Thats is a stack of core memory - the 'cores' are the little torus shapes that store individual bits.

Stacks like that were used in the early to early 60's PDP machines. Looks to me like more than 2kb... each core is a bit, so you can count the rows, columns, and stacks to find out how much it is.
