MSA 1987

1987 brought more change and a new office with a big city Reno address. Our new home was at 1005 Terminal Way on the second floor and totaled approximately 3,000 SF. The firm had grown to 8 employees (all electrical). During this move we really stepped it up! We purchased proper mayline drafting desks and utilized folding tables for our layout tables. During this period we purchased our first computer with a monochrome CRT screen.  We hired our first AutoCAD drafter and purchased our first copy of AutoCAD. The computer was a 33 MHz machine with 250 meg of memory, a door stop by current standards. We just couldn’t get rid of the 8 track player and it finally quit for good…but we still had AM/FM! “Sticky backs” were used as a time saving drafting method to copy details instead of drawing them from scratch each time.
