Overall: It would have been nice if the sourcing for the hook were stated at the top of the review. I can see it in the article: "TRW Vidar "installed the industry's first digital switch in 1976." and "By 1982 ... TRW Vidar withdrew from active engagement in the digital switch marketplace.", but also specifying it in the review to make things easier for your DYK reviewer is always recommended!

@GRuban: Thanks for the review. I'll try to be more consistent about providing hook source pointers in nominations. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:38, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
