No, but 7470, 7472, 7473, and 74948  were _very_ early and were also very
crude, as were their later L and H variants. 7474 was slightly later, and
less crude.

It should also be noted that the 7400 series was NOT the first commerical
TTL integrated circuits. The earlier TTL flip-flops were even more crude,
but I imagine the engineers that used them were nevertheless delighted at
the advance over RTL and DTL.
