OOH! Neat! I looked on my mobile phone enough to get a sense of what this is.

I'm not in the petroleum industry, but about 45 years ago I was mesmerized at an energy fair at my elementary school by this Exxon magazine that showed the refinery flow with a bunch of little dots: https://archive.org/details/p-2330663/P2330670.JPG

How awesome that you were able to find this! I’m only missing a couple! The SRU is my final hurrah that I’m trying to get the play dynamic right. Balancing air demand with sulfur load without overwhelming the screen with bars and widgets.

Missing a couple of features you want to add?

The "able to find this" (the 1981 Exxon magazine) needs context to appreciate re: the dispersion of certain personal belongings over time. I would have picked the magazine up in 1981 or 1982 (possibly 1983) at the school energy fair, and it remained in my physical possession for the next 40-something years.

In elementary school I did not have a significant amount of possessions outside of toys. Then in middle school I got a small desk, and in high school I got a larger desk, and it ended up in a folder of "neat stuff" that I saved.

Then after college my stuff from the desk ended up in a banker's box, which I still have, along with a couple of other boxes of stuff from that era. This year I looked for maybe 20-30 minutes and found it.

I still have all of my copies of Compute's Gazette from the mid-late 1980s.

I will say that it is amazing to be able to go online and find all sorts of old computer/electronics/whatever magazines from the 1950s-1980s on archive.org or bitsavers or worldradiohistory.org and there they are... unless they're not.

A couple of units that were shown on your page, but that is a very cool note. You never know when something leaves a lasting impression on someone!
