hanging in Ralph Gorin's office in CERAS at LOTS (later outside his
office in Tresidder).
If legible, such plots could be reconstructed by tracing in
Adobe Illustrator. Contemporary sign-makers have tools that
can load the Illustrator "legacy" EPS format and convert it
to formats used by plotters and vinyl cutters.
