Uh, they were used a lot for mechanical CAD... my
dad's company's main
product was mechanical CAD based on Apollos, screw that AutoDesk crapola...
Never heard of Auto-Trol?
Yep. Back in the 70's and early 80's the company I worked for was the
Analytical Systems Division of Bausch & Lomb (which became ACU-RITE
Incorporated in '83.) We made the linear encoder scales for your dad's product.
