The NEXT STATION CONTACTS wall board is a ruled table and nothing else: a header row of station names, hairline column rules, one value per cell, and the panel number (07) set small in its corner. Steal a data panel that is the table, with its ID in the corner, instead of a card padded around one.

The clocks along the top set HR MIN SEC as tiny labels under each pair of digits rather than beside them, so every readout keeps the same width and the row of clocks lines up as one band. Steal units under fixed-width numerals for any row of live values.
Steal · component patternmodel draft
Each console position repeats one module: a CRT on top, a matrix of square backlit keys below it, a writing ledge in front. The room reads as dense because one well-shaped unit is repeated per role, not because each role gets its own layout. Steal one module shape and repeat it.
