[BC] Soldering D-sub Pins

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

Methinks that soldering was required in all aircraft systems, well past
WWII. When I went into the Navy, after basic, I was sent to a "NASA Training
Class" where I was taught to be a NASA-certified solderer! You know,
strip without nicking, tin the wires without melting insulation, wrapping
to make a good mechanical connection, then flowing solder in "just so,"
that it was evenly distributed and shiny. That was in 1967, well after the
"great war" and well after I made my first type-accepted broadcast
transmitter using crimped connections wherever possible!

The government is usually slow, by about 20 years.
