IBM antitrust suit records, 1950-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122393309

The IBM antitrust suit records are a collection assembled by Richard Thomas DeLamarter, a senior economist working for the Department of Justice on the case from 1974-1982. He is the author of BIG BLUE: IBM'S USE AND ABUSE OF POWER (New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1986). He believed that IBM was, and continues to be, a monopolist. DeLamarter used records from the case, particularly plaintiff exhibits, to substantiate his argument.
