Following the recent discussion here on the 'DEC logo' topic, I've been
mucking about with my own efforts to produce a replica PDP11 masthead panel for the DEC
H960 rack.
The idea is basically to make an SVG for a vinyl stencil which looks 'good enough'
until I can find an orignal one. I've drawn CAD (vectors and arcs only - no splines)
over images I've found on the web, from scratch, without relying on the Batchelder
examples. So far the output is virtually complete but I need some help from the list,
if possible - I would like the dimensions of the width and height. I know it's larger
than a DEC filler panel. With thise I can adjust the drawing to the final size and
continue on the project.
As I need to mix a blurb with example images I've placed it under a blog entry on the
VCF board at

Please take a look, and thanks for any help or comments,
Steve.
