This is a drawing made by a computer in 1969. The plotter moved the pen while Mohr’s own program, called P-18, guided it. It’s one of his first drawings from code, not his hand. Plotters were rare back then. Only big labs had them. Mohr had to ask the Paris weather institute just to use one. Try looking up Mohr, Manfred next.
