In the November-December 1972 issue of IEEE Computer magazine

"Nearly 100 million messages a year can be speeded among more than 80,000
terminals by a new message-switching and processing facility demonstrated
recently in Middletown, Va.

"Designed, built and operated for the Western Union Telegraph Company
by Teleprocessing Industries, Inc., the center is the world's largest
in terms of terminals it interconnects.

"With three large-scale computers (Univac 1108s), three medium-size
computers (Univac 418s) and more than 125 other pieces of major computer
and communications equipment, the new facility enhances Western Union
services and makes new ones possible."
