I was looking at my 1976 Linear data book - and recalled that I built a
7 segment LED clock for my beloved in '77. And I just pulled out my
1975 TI Optoelectronics Data book I bought for $2.95.

So that was likely a class part 40 years ago.

My former - through my sister - uncle-in-law (I suppose) was the
executive VP of Semi and had that operation to himself.

I suspect you have a servo with sensing.

The 4 resistors that are there must be 2 current limiting on the LEDs
and 2 pull ups on the detectors. Wait - this was made in 1976: did
they have LEDs then?


Yes. Commercial red LEDs were avialble in the 60's; I think by the 70's
they were on to other colours and higher output levels.
