Images From Bell Labs in the Sixties—It’s Like Nerdy Mad Men

Beehives, flower power, and really, really large computers. Looking at these photos taken at Bell Labs in the 1960s is like traveling back in time. Was working at Bell Labs totally "groovy"?

Although I always imagined Bell Labs dominated by men, the photographer sure did manage to capture a lot of the ladies. More photos at the link. [Visboo]
