SRI, UCSD, UCLA, Utah:

All West Coast, plus Utah. Next was BBN; if you look at the IMP numbers, in
HOSTS.TXT, they were assigned in order of installation.

1977 was not too many years before the peak in size (with the MILNET split
coming in October, 1983). Per:
http://www.chiappa.net/~jnc/tech/arpanet.html
"Prior to the split, in 1983, there were 113 IMPs in the ARPANET; after the
ARPANET/MILNET split, the MILNET consisted of 65 nodes, leaving the ARPANET
with 68 nodes."
