I found a few mentions of the D&B setup back then.  In the 60s and 70s, 
D&B appeared to be a loyal IBM customer, even endorsing the 3850-beer 
can-in-a-pigeon-coop MSS device.  I did find a mention that D&B 
installed a minicomputer network in its local offices in 1976.  That's 
about as far as I got, but the minis in the racks in the photo remind me 
a bit of DG Novas.
