     @thomasfuchs One hint it's very old: pro audio equipment uses the same standard, so there's probably a common ancestor to both computing & audio that already used it.

     @thomasfuchs The biggest equipment you could make to fit into the rack you had to get through a doorway perhaps. Or just extra inches for soft telecom fingers :)

     @thomasfuchs I assume it’s from telco days, so early 20th century, I’m guessing between ww1 and ww2

     @thomasfuchs nailed it! (Although I was pretty loose in my guess)
