I am absolutely certain that when I took my Extra and my 1st Phone in 
1960, I had to draw schematics for both.  I also remember doing a lot of 
slide-rule calculations, but I can't remember if the questions were m/c 
or fill-in-the-blank.

I *think* (but am not sure) that the General Class test that I took in 
'57 also had at least one schematic.
