[ARC5] Fw: Clearing solder from sockets and pins

[Henry Mei'l's]

An anectdotal addition to my previous mail:

My father also told me that he often wondered who this "my friend Paul" was, 
the owner of this German based machine tool company was always referring to. 
Turns out it was Paul von Hindenburg, my maternal grandfather's top 
commander, while my father's brothers and other relatives fought for Franz 
Josef in WWI, but we gladly volunteered for US service in WWII: Marine Corp, 
Army Airborne....).
What does all this have to do with ARC-5's? Just that I have always been 
interested in military
history and mil communications gear.
