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.
