Hadn't ever seen it in this configuration before, really resembeles an early Atari game board IMO.

 

Just neat to see the influence of the time Jobs and Woz spent working in the arcades division of Atari.

its just a standard type of thing for its time, and if I had to guess on where design influence came from, it would be HP where WOZ was far more involved

[Keatah]

HP had a tendency to to put a lot of spacing between the chips. A little more so than the other designers of the period. Different eras always have different "Features" of the layout of the boards.

 

Today it's all flex circuitry. And in that, too, you can see all sorts of "period" curves and angles.
