I would've sworn that


*Computer System Organization: the B5700/B6700 Series*
(Organick, Elliott I., Academic Press, 1973, ISBN 0-12-528250-8)


used the term, but a quick scan of the book didn't turn it up. In any
case, the Burroughs Large System machines used the structure for tasking,
and the book goes over the internals in reasonable detail.
