PENTANET--A Report of the United States Air Force Technical Panel for a Pentagon-Wide Local Area Network

Defense Technical Information Center · 1983 · 7 pictures

A 1983 United States Air Force technical panel report, compiled through the Defense Technical Information Center, on a proposed Pentagon-wide local area network, addressing feasibility, cabling and interfaces for military staff. The four diagrams show network topologies drawn as schematic nodes: a mesh of N-labelled circles linked by arrows to D boxes, a single bus line with taps, a fully connected mesh, and a ring, each with USER and LAN labels pointing to one station. A designer could draw on their clean node-and-line diagram conventions for simple technical schematics.
