BITMAN #2 (London: BIT Information Service, July 1970).

Foolscap, side-stapled. 30pp. BITMAN grew out of of BIT, "the June 1968 brainwave of Hoppy in jail and the name is to indicate that BIT evolved out of International Times… though BIT also = Binary Information Transfer, 'the smallest unit of information that can be processed by a computer', in memory of the original aim of computerizing the service".
