1976 PCB design at CERN

It's amazing what we take for granted these days:
--- Quote ---“Quest” for printed circuit boards 😉
In 1976, CERN activities required a growing amount of printed circuit boards, so the Laboratory acquired Quest systems to automate their design and production.
As you can see in this #ThrowbackThursday, each system was equipped with a digitising table, a teletype, a computer, a pen plotter, a perforator and a photoplotter, so that the user could guide the machine to drill holes in the boards.
Guess how much faster it was to make printed circuit boards using these machines?

Well, what to do if you need "Ctrl+Z"?

I would use that stuff lol

Based on my experience this year trying to learn Cadence PCB design and schematic tools by myself at home in lockdown so I could make some 8 layer boards for CERN, I think I'd rather have used this! :D
