 Comment on note on Apollo Network
The Apollo network is a token  network  as  stated.  However  the
Cambridge folk are not the originators of the token ring idea. In
fact the Cambridge ring is NOT a token ring. It is a slotted ring
with small slot size.

Tokens rings come via Newhall/Farmer - the DCS process  addressed
ring  (the first with a real token) - the LNI/MIT LCS I ring with
the Prime ring being derived from the DCS instance.
