[Elecraft] Off Topic: Manhattan Style Construction

[AJSOENKE at aol.com]

This was a very popular method of breadboarding  about 20-30 years ago. There 
was a company the sold the special Bits for cutting  the lands (pads) with 
holes in them. different sizes, but all round. By Correct  positioning you could 
create rows of holes with lands and then xacto knife and  peel back stripps 
for buss isolation strips etc. I still have the bits I bought  because they are 
very helpful for doing microstrip work on microwave amps etc.  But, I cannot 
find a brand name or any info at this moment. I know if you can  find some 30 
yr old popular electronic or nuts and volts you will see the ads.  I'll try to 
dig into archive this week and see if there are any around  here.
