We were using large volumes of SMT pads at Westinghouse in 1983.

Hi all,

Can someone tell me the time frame when surface mount technology
started being used in production. this to settle a friendly debate, sort of  a
memory challenge  you might say.  I don't seem to recall seeing SMT pads
on boards before 1982-84 time frame ( maybe even later) . A friend of
mine seems to think they where in use in the 70s. Fact is I really don't
know when they started showing up on designs.  God I think I losing it!
Must be getting old...hehe..

Anyway.... Any help would be appreciated.
