I'm guessing: are you mentioning BR here in
relation to stock
exchanges - were they a major supplier for stock exchange data
services?
Oh yes--look up "Telequote". I think that CHM has a few bits as well.
A lot of caselaw was tied up in Telequote, but by the early 70s, nearly
I think most of the server gear for Telequote was IBM S/360 stuff, but
I'm not
certain my memory is accurate.
Having a Telequote terminal would be akin to having a SABRE airline
reservation
terminal from the 60s.

I have a stash of BR docs, for various systems from 1960s mostly. BR is
not mentioned very often.
