Absolutely correct, Dr. Loeb.
I've used Burndy or Panduit for many years and my crimp tool only cost me
$20 in 1980. Back in the early 60s I worked for a while at the IBM Space
Guidance Labs as a part time job while going to school and playing hockey.
Our shop made the servo-slave tape units for the IBM 360 Computers and did
the hand work on the IBM one-off computers for the space program. We built
the little computers that went into the Apollo capsules and the LEM. Those
systems had to withstand incredible punishment. Most of the wiring was
connected using *crimps* because anything other than a mechanical connection
wouldn't hold up under the punishment. Peoples lives rested on it always
working. I always figured if it was good enough for the moon program it was
good enough for my cars and motorcycles.
Cheers!!
