  My prototype had LEDs on the outputs.  Rather impractical on a 13-jack
2U panel, though.

  1) It is a 0 to 9.999s dual delay.  the '1000ms' in the name at the
bottom is missing a zero.

  2) The buttons use a set of routines I wrote to control various process
controllers.  There are a number of increment/decrement rates based on how
long the button is depressed.

  3) That "<FREQ>" on the delay panel is a typo.

  And lastly, these panel images were my initial ideas.  End results may
be a bit different.
