I'd say the 74181 (1970) deserves a mention here.
Simpler (no register
component, ALU only) but it pretty much kicked off the start of
IC-level bit slicing.
Yes, it was used in quite a few machines. Among the PDP-11's alone, it is
found in the -11/45, /05, /40, /04 and /34, to name a few that I checked
quickly, and almost certainly others too (e.g. /70).
