Notwithstanding the absolutely compleat ye laste word article (leaves me almost breathless) by "Yardbird" Larry J. Huntley: >>>From: yrdbrd@bmcg.UUCP (Larry J. Huntley) >>>Newsgroups: net.arch,net.micro,net.analog >>>Subject: One-of-a-Kind Systems (LONG! Ph. Nos., Addresses) >>>Message-ID: <1719@bmcg.UUCP> Said article contains everything you *ever* wanted to know about wire-wrap (be sure and get a copy of this from your netnews spool) whether or not you were afraid to ask. If only all net articles were this well done. We could move 200 KBytes a day through here instead of 2.2 Megabytes. However, I do recommend this one seminal reference, preferably in it's latest edition: The document is supplied by the Department of Defense. The title - get this now, as it would take Unix cref to re-acquire it, even if you have a good memory: Military Standard MIL-STD-1130x Connections, Electrical, Solderless Wrapped Where "x" is the latest revision letter. Whew. If you are an employee of a military contractor, you can get the standard free from the Commander, Naval Electronic Systems Command, Defense Standardization Program Branch, Washington, D.C. As of this late date, I get the impression that you can wait *forever* for the Navy to ship you a copy of the standard if you do not have a contract number that requires them to supply copy. Instead, I recommend contacting a private concern: National Standards & Specifications 5161 River Road Bethesda, MD 20816 Tel: 800-638-8094 except in MD, where it is 301-951-1310 Ask for Beverly Hicks, ext. 437 Like most businesses of this sort, they like to do transactions in semi-bulk. I would estimate the cost of this standard at $5 to $7 or so in small quantity. It would probably be better to ask for catalog info on ANSI, IEEE, NEMA, and MIL standards, then order a whole buncha stuff at once when you had a number of things you always wanted but couldn't seem to locate at B. Dalton's. That way you could escape a minimum order charge.
