Oops! I misremembered this.
It's in Curtis Roads and John Strawn (eds.) _Foundations of Computer Music_,
MIT Press, 1987.

In the 70's, TRW made a fast (for the day)
fully-combinational bipolar multiplier that was
packaged in an oversized DIP with a giant TRW logo.
Chamberlain's "Musical Applications of
Microprocessors"
has a picture of one.
I have the Hayden hardback edition, 9th printing (1988) and it has
nothing like this in it - in fact no pictures at all, only line drawings.
The three microprocessors mentioned are the 8080, LSI-11, and 6502 - and
these are called out as:
The 8080 for synthesiser control
The LSI-11 for direct synthesis
The 6502 for 'logic replacement'
No mention of anything from TRW at all, for that matter....
