$\begingroup$ Thanks for the suggestions. That particular Figure is from the 1990s, but I've seen the style in older papers too. I may ask some of my more senior colleagues what they remember using back in the old days! $\endgroup$– Dan BOct 31, 2018 at 15:18

$\begingroup$ Not sure if you'd have better results on History of Science and Mathematics, but might be worth a quick search there. Retrocomputing is probably more of a long shot $\endgroup$– trichoplax is on Codidact nowNov 5, 2018 at 20:18
