Someone I know is seeking the original version of
an internal Bell Labs
memo from 1974 titled "Webster's Second on the Head of a Pin" by
Morris
and Thompson. The topic appears to be related to improving the speed of
lookups or search. It's cited in a few papers as "Unpublished Technical
Memo, Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ 1974." All I can find online
is citations. Any leads appreciated!
Doug McIlroy sent me a copy, it's now here:
