The birth of the chip was really something wasnt it. I used the first RTL ones (Fairchild?)and some of the gates only had a few transistors in them. The JK flip flop was a bit more complex though.
These were in round metal cans, maybe 1/2" diam with legs sticking out the bottom. The Industrial Eng guys made up a forming machine that bent the legs to fit in spaced PCB pads.
Somewhere I have a Data Sheet, just a few pages for the limited number of devices that were available. If I find it I will post a few pics.
Interesting discussion, thanks Gary
