It had to be said..... I worked on the Burroughs B1700 which has a
1bit word; it was bit addressable and as a soft machine the programmer
could select whatever virtual word length they liked.  I remember the
other LISP team changing from 22 to 23 bits one day.  There was an
advantage to 24 bit virtual words, but at its heart it was a 1bit machine.
