Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you know that we have finally started creating PDF's of some
of our older computing brochures.
There's some on the PDP-5, PDP-6 & PDP-7 which you might find interesting ...

Very nice.
Are there any font historians in the audience? I'm curious what the
serif font is that DEC used back then (both on the "Digital Equipment
Corp" logo on the PDP-5, for example, and in the brochure for the
PDP-5). I'm also curious what the sans serif font is that's rendered
in color and used for headers and such in the PDP-5 brochure. To me,
at least, it really evokes a sense of the period these flyers were
designed in.
