[Elecraft] routine question

I routinely use cut off component leads on the thermistor board - simply
because they are laying there in the bench.  If you stick them into a black
foam block, you can get 3 or 4 aligned at one time before soldering (it is
just faster that way.

Another hint is to cut the 8 leads at an angle (so one end is full length
and the others are progressively shorter) and it is easier to insert the
leads into the holes.
