Super impressive for 1961

And this is where object orientated programming came from. Ivan did this in a year. He said he did not know that it was considered difficult. It was his Master's thesis.

Fascinating look at these early pioneers of CAD technology

It is absolutely astonishing what they were able to do with limited resources all the way back in 1961.
