This is the version of= the TROFF et. al. documentation distributed for Release 5.0 as well as the= initial release of System V. This contains the expected papers on NROFF/T= ROFF, MM, Eqn, Tbl, and other bits and pieces like viewgraph macros. These= documents appear to be revisions of the various technical memoranda distri= buted as UNIX papers over time. I think this just leaves the Support Tools= Guide as far as unscanned initial System V documents. I have this so just= need to get it on my scanner and then the initial System V documentation r= un should be completely preserved out there on the net. https://archive.org/details/we-november-december-1981 Second is a copy of WE Magazine from November-December 1981. Distributed t= o Western Electric employees, this issue of the magazine has a cover story = on the installation of the very first central office 5ESS in Seneca, Illino= is on July 1st, 1981. The piece goes into some local reactions to installa= tion day, some technical details of 5ESS, and has some nice pictures of the= unit being unloaded and moved into place. There are additional articles c= oncerning Nassau Metals, ISSMs, and some goings on around the company. https://archive.org/details/attached-processor-interface-3b-1a Finally is the "Attached Processor Interface", a small Western Electric pam= phlet detailing an interface for incorporating 3B processors into existing = 1A offices such as 4ESS and 1AESS. As with other applications of the 3B to= telephony, DMERT features as the operating system, although the pamphlet i= s mostly concerned with the installation and diagnostic aspects of working = with the interface. By the way, the original text is all green, but I scan= ned all but the covers in B/W. The last one is interesting in that it's an integration of the 3B into a te= lephone central office that isn't a 5ESS, rather, you wind up with somethin= g more like a 4.5ESS, a 4ESS with a 3B up in it somewhere. However, given = the date of November 1981, this postdates the installation of that first 5E= SS, making it less likely that this was some embryonic step before the 5ESS= and more likely a retrofit designed to get more 3Bs into service in older = offices. That this was 1A general was interesting too, that is why a 1AESS= could absorb it, meaning there very well could've been frankenstein centra= l offices out there with a 1ESS that got retrofitted with a 1A and then got= retrofitted further with an API and a 3B, making one of the monstrosities = this pamphlet suggests installing. It's too bad there's a snowball's chanc= e in hell of one of these "API" units popping up out there, much less still= mated to its 1A and 3B...but a guy can dream. Anywho, going to start a slow trickle of scans again now that I've got my o= ffice all settled. I'm foraying further and further into telephones so my = document hunting these days lands closer to ESS and 1A2 KTS than UNIX, but = I'm still keeping an eye out for whatever I can manage to preserve. That a= ll said, that also means my "accepted for scan" circle has gotten larger, a= s I'm now seeking other 70s-early 80s Bell System stuff generally, not stri= ctly UNIX things, so if you've got some obscure Dimension PBX manual collec= ting dust I'll happily scan it for ya! - Matt G.
