I had a college instructor that was around then. He told us about their idea of compact components.

Also said NASA engineers wasted a lot of money having custom resistors and capacitors made. We figured, since there is some variation in components, it would have been cheaper to hire a tech to find those parts out of a box. Also said that was how they saved money farming out the Mars rovers.
