    It's over 40 years since I shared office space with one of these (ours was an A0 model though) and I remember with no fondness the loud groaning noises as it was working. We had an early Calma GDS1 IC layout system (DG Nova-based) and used it to produce layout plots for eyeball checking. Often as much as a day of torture for each composite plot and we used to weigh the pens to make sure they were full enough to complete the layers.
