Nice find.
Relatedly I found this brief history of DEC:
From: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.encyclopedia.com&#x2F;topic&#x2F;Digital_Equipment_Corp.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.encyclopedia.com&#x2F;topic&#x2F;Digital_Equipment_Corp.asp...</a><p>&gt;There was virtually no organizational structure during Digital’s early years because Olsen was committed to creating an environment much like the research labs at MIT. A temporary position as liaison between MIT and IBM in 1959 convinced Olsen that the hierarchy at companies like IBM did not allow for creativity and the flow of ideas.<p>Sound familiar to anyone here?
