I remember doing that in the early 80s. We used to layout boards with tape and stencils on a light table, usually at 4X. When that was done, run a brown line to proof against the schematic. When it checked out, took the sheets to a photo lab to get reduced to 1:1. Then took the film to the board house to be made. At that time, things were just starting to change. The company I worked for had just bought it's first cad system, I think I did one of the last boards with tape. The board house had just started digitizing the film. That's when rip-up really meant rip-up.
