[TUHS] Working at Bell Labs: photos by Larry Luckham, 1967

[Tom Lyon]

I'm guessing this was Holmdel - they were deep into IBM stuff.

There's these 1973 videos about the Holmdel IBM computing center.

In summer of 1973, I was a high school snot attending an NSF program at
Stevens Institute, but my brother Dick was a summer intern at Holmdel. I
visited him and made a trek across all 6 floors of all 4 buildings and
counted about 100 PDP-11 systems! (based on peeking in the always-open lab
doors and looking for purple and red)  I knew nothing about UNIX at the
time, so no idea how many UNIces there were.
