I have here my manual of the "Cambridge Multiple-Access System - 
User's Reference Manual" (that's Cambridge, England) dated 1968.  The 
file system hierarchy separator is "/".

I don't know where -they- got the convention from in the first place, 
admittedly.

ObPDP:  the TITAN system had a PDP7 as a peripheral device, sort-of.
