On Larry's site, he seems to attribute the 912 Tie-lines module to Paul Bower. Maybe we ask Paul? Anyone know his email address? Bill and Will

As the thinking goes - with MOTM jacks-on-bottom-pots-on-top layouts you achieve less patchcord jungle. That is until you add a second row. Then the theory goes out the window. If you add a row of jacks that are bus lines and mults under each row of modules you can actually achieve clutter free patches that will not obscure any pots. His was the only system I have ever seen that achieved this goal. Very clever.
