Benson and Tabbott, employees of AT&T's Bell Telephone Laboratories, had devised a set of mathematical instructions, or a "program," for a computer as part of a telephone switching system.

The project's bell tower, a mighty raised slab of raw concrete, is among the best pieces of sculptural architecture this side of Le Corbusier's Ronchamp church.
