Anyone recognize the apparatus this woman is using?
I suspect she's at a drafting table, and this is some sort of digitizer based on the corded puck she has in her right hand.
edit: She is doing PCB design work, and timeframe is 1983.
It may not be a digitizer - closest i've gotten is this Nestler Florett digital drafting machine. You can see this is a more modern version, but it shows that such things did have control boxes with an LCD and controls on them.

@gloriouscow how does a digital drafting machine differ? Does it record as you instead of all at once later?
@falken In this case I don't think it actually records anything - some version may have a motor to move the two primary axis and have a digital readout of the angle you have set with the square.
