Now that takes my back to my youth. I had to build wire wrap boards by
hand, interconnecting about 100 devices with hand operated wire wrap
guns.
Ah, those were the days.

Gardner-Denver is a name I haven't heard in 3-life times. Many moons ago
when I worked as a mechanical designer they were a competitor for the
automation equipment company I worked for. I think that they divested
themselves of all but the pumps and compressors unit in the late 80's
but are still in business. You might be able to contact them and get a
lead on who owns that part of their old businesses.
Sorry, I can't help further.

Subject: [TN] Wire wrap?
Hello Technet!
Wire Wrap - no, this is not a NCT joke. We've been asked to look at
building some of a pretty old system. The only problem is the backplane
- it uses wire wrap, about 800 wires - so we would not enjoy doing it
manually. We've got a machine for the x-y locating, an EPC Technology
14/YA that for some reason we call a Gardner Denver, but it hasn't been
used in about 10 years and there's nobody left here who knows how to
program it.
Is anyone on Technet familiar with such a machine? It's got the floppy
drive option, but I can't find any floppy disks for it - just paper
tapes. If I could even get my hands on a copy of a valid program I
could probably figure out how to make it work. I'm not up for reverse
engineering the paper tapes though...
Thanks for any assistance.
