The early evolution of the C language has been described elsewhere ...
It is May, 1975, and the new improved Sixth Edition is about to be released...
There follows a succession of releases of the C compiler. The PWB
1.0 release of UNIX, the first outside the labs of a non-Research
from Bell, goes out in 1977. And a special release tape known only as
``Phototypesetter Version 7'' includes a new release of troff as well
as the C compiler, assembler, loader, archiver and bits of the C library.

The
phototypesetter version of Unix was V7.
I'm not sure of what's being said here. Manuals from
the 4th edition on were phototypeaet, first on a
CAT and later a Linotron (if I remember the name right).
