very nice, thanks.

It took me 10 minutes to figure out that was an *eagle* .lbr file :-)

(I know you said that but for some reason I got gEDA stuck in my head)

I'm curious what the holes on the top of the board are for - I have
about 10 metal hex-width "stiffeners" with extractors I was given by a
guy who made unibus memory boards - I've yet to measure the holes on
those.  I assume they end up some how pop-riveted to the board but how
one fastens them I'm not sure.  I've only used pop-rivets on cars and I
don't think I want to use the same style fasteners on a PCB.  Maybe
nylon screws & nuts with some loctite, and trim the excess threads.

Are some sort of plastic handles available?  Any thoughts?

I want a "spec" paper drawing with dimensions from the books and then
verify it with a selection of unibus cards I have.

Have you made a PCB with the hex width card model?
