Also that thring they call a computer terminal, I'm pretty sure is either an TSPS, OSPS or TOPS console, basically used for telephone operators.

This has come up before here and on Twitter and nobody has ever known, but I intend to keep asking: does anyone know where this Bell Labs facility was in Oakland, CA? The only mention of it anywhere on the web lead back to this page. I can find no other contemporaneous documentation of it, and I even searched the Oakland Public Library periodicals archive.

  According to this article it was in the basement of the Bermuda Building (https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/bell-labs-larry-luckham-techie-women-photos-13578683.php https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/bell-labs-larry-luckham-...) which was demolished after Loma Prieta damaged it (https://localwiki.org/oakland/Bermuda_Building https://localwiki.org/oakland/Bermuda_Building).
