Some photographers wandered around my employer of the time, Recognition
Equipment. (Like my Canadian girlfriend, you haven't heard of it.)

One of the pictures, in the PDP8 book, I think, featured Jim Votava, my
instructor on several PDP11 hardware courses at PK2, so they were real DEC

his series on the 9825 repairs.
