Cool. Nice information, thanks.
After searching the net for a while, I think it is an E&S graphic
system. ES340 seems most likely, but ES390 might also be it.
There are information about an older system for the PDP-11 machines by
E&S on the net, which strikes me as very similar, and probably a kind of
predecessor.

FWIW, the VAX-11/780s I have were a part of an intergraph setup at one
point. I didn't save the drafting-table sized drawing tablets/cad
terminals that were with it, because of a lack of space...
Alas, the setup they had didn't look like the Intergraph stuff I saw.
