Not
ADT terminal but
Lear Siegler ADM 3A (center)
from left to right (Digital VT100 with Retro-Graphics Enhancement = VT640, Lear Siegler INC ADM-3A, Texas Instruments Silent 700 model 743)
All these terminal used for Synclavier I (Silent 743 & ADM-3A) and II (VT1640, Pericom Monterey MG600).

may be because Mike Thorne have Synclavier II not I
