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 people as far as I know

I have often wondered about the people we find in the various
DEC Processor (and other) books. Were they models in staged
photo-sessions or were these candid shots from DEC facilities
and if so, can anyone identify who they might be.
Looking thru some of the books again I came across an interesting
photo on page 42 of the 1981 pdp11 processor handbook / pdp11 04
24 34a 44 70. If you take a magnifier to the picture you will
find the system presented in that photo is not a pdp11 but a VAX. :-)
I wonder what other DEC systems are contained in these photos?
