Howard,
     
          I've looked in the J-Stds, IPC-A-610B, IPC-R-700C, and by george 
     you're right, there ain't nothing I can see that addresses that. I'm 
     assuming that a wire will be soldered to one lead, and another to the other 
     lead, and then that wire will continue on in the harness, correct? I do 
     have to agree with you about it not being good sense to do... 
     
          The way I'm reading everything in the IPC manuals about modifications, 
     jumper wires, etc. is that it is very important to immobilize everything so 
     that there won't be any strain on the solder connection. The times that 
     I've had to put a jumper wire on a PCB with a resistor in the wire between 
     the two points being connected, I've always epoxied the resistor down to 
     the PCB itself and then ran the jumpers to it...that's not something you 
     can do with a harness though.
     
          Say, this harness,....it doesn't have anything to do with the space 
     shuttle's solid rocket boosters does it? I mean I was just curious seeing 
     how I noticed the reference to NASA specs in your email....(just kidding, 
     I'm just razzin' ya' a little...I know, bad joke...sorry.)
