Optically Routed NOR Gate Array

A historical curiosity I guess. There was some work done in the mid fifties to early sixties on neon lamp/electroluminescent sources coupled with photoconductors to make logic gates. However none of the papers I have read so far show an array that is "routed." They also didn't have YouTube to make it as fun.

I am routing with 1.5mm and 1.8 mm clear vinyl craft cord. It cuts with scissors and works well enough for short distances I am working with.

Happy to read any comments, suggestions of criticisms.
