Philbrick ( and others) also made solid state operational amplifiers 
that were  cube shaped encapsulated modules. I don't think they were 
ICs.  They were used in some industrial and elevator controllers, and 
adapting ICs to replace them is challenging, and in the case of one 
elevator controller, not fully satisfactory.
