Description: Bell Telephone Technical Journal volume 57, number 6, two parts July-August 1978 Part 2 of this issue, Unix time-sharing system" has long been recognized as an important document in the history of computing. Not so widely recognized: it was paired with an account of the engineering needed to move fiber optic cables out of the laboratory and into a manhole under city streets. Both appeared in this issue and--taken together--those six hundred or so pages provide us with a birth certificate for modern networked computing. Schindler, G[eorge] E, Jr. (1924-2018), editor.
