    For others following if your interested in what wire wrap is...

    I knew they used the procedure on the Shuttle but found out later it went all the way back to the Apollo and earlier. The guidance computers and everything were done with wire wrap. I hated it, mainly because when repairing stuff it was a pain to work on. See the pics on the Wiki page...what a nightmare!
