## Summary

13 dated entries in OnCo fall in 1978: 5 companies founded, 3 journals founded, 2 approvals, 2 landmarks and 1 paper.

Of those, 13 to the year only. Most of the corpus dates a fact to the year, because that is what the source it was read from gives; regulatory events and the readout calendar are the parts that carry a full date.

Everything on this page is generated from the other records. It holds no fact of its own, and it changes when they do.
