[Milsurplus] Milsurplus Digest, Vol 246, Issue 23

[Gene Smar]

A month ago I picked up an estate's SB-101 to refurbish and hopefully get back on the air. I noted in the assembly manual that this kit also included a factory-built wiring harness, with lacing  included. Can't imagine any other way to wire this complex a radio.

The same methods are still used today .  Nothing better has been invented for such low-quantity production associated with high quality and reliability.

This was on Facebook last night (ahd was originally from Shorpy's).

The description was " 1942. Boeing aircraft plant, Seattle. Production of
B-17 'Flying Fortress' routing wires"

I've often wondered how they made the wiring harnesses.   For this
particular section, metal studs are spaced for length accuracy.
