logic rack?

   More info.

   I brought home three cards from the rack and I've been looking at them.
One has 2N297 (see
<http://semiconductormuseum.com/PhotoGallery/PhotoGallery_2N697.htm>) NPN
Switching transistors dated 1968. Another has 2N1309s dated 1969. The other
has three green modules about 1/2" tall x 9/16" wide and 2 1/2" long.
They're marked MKC Electronics KC Kansas. They have three connections at
one end and two at the other. I suspect that they're relays. I can't see
any markings on the diodes.
