Description: Color slide of rubylith cutting. In Intel's early days, each layer of an integrated circuit design was drawn by hand, then transferred onto rubyliths. Operators such as the two women pictured here worked at light tables cutting each vector onto the red cellophane- like sheets. The rubylith was then photostepped to the correct size and a mask was made.
