CAD designers benefited heavily from the intrinsic math capabilities of computers but clashed with the text only nature of early systems. So they were one of the first sets of users to need more human native input devices. Enter the CAD Digitizer! I got this much later CalComp Drawingboard II as an example of them and was able to get it working! After much work and frustration though.
