The chief electrical engineer at our company in the
1980s was a fellow who
excelled at making components in his designs do two or three jobs each.
It's an artistry that HP displayed, as you indicate.
A prime example of this is in GPO (UK) telephones. In things like the
706, many of the components (like capacitors) do 2 or 3 jobs!
