Mystery 1970 core board

It is interesting, the way the edge connector is curved. I wish I'd seen this done on more boards. Sometimes I want to use a hammer to assist in inserting cards. My Nicolet has two and sometimes three 80 pin connectors.

The MAC-16 in this ad looks odd.  The front panel has nothing behind
it...or at least, very little.   I'm not familiar with the MAC-16, but
either the ad has a mock-up of the machine(seems plausible given the
tendencies of marketing), or the front panel is  a real waste of rack
space.   The electronics appear to be in a box below the front panel,
with only a small area of overlap between the electronics chassis and
the front panel, and nothing but air behind it.

Is this the way the system was really put together?
