  2. Wire wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap

    A "wire wrap tool" has two holes. The wire and 1 ⁄ 4 in (6.4 mm) of insulated wire are placed in a hole near the edge of the tool. The hole in the center of the tool is placed over the post. The tool is rapidly twisted. The result is that 1.5 to 2 turns of insulated wire are wrapped around the post, and above that, 7 to 9 turns of bare wire ...

  3. Perfboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfboard

    This wire was developed initially for circuit assembly by the wire wrap technique but also serves well for miniature point-to-point wiring on perfboard. Bare copper wire is useful when merging a number of connections to form an electrical bus such as the circuit's ground , and when there is enough space to properly route connections, instead of ...

    Once set in place, the APOBS rocket is fired from a 35-meter standoff position, sending the line charge with fragmentation grenades over a minefield or wire obstacle. The grenades neutralize or clear the mines and sever the wire, clearing a 45-meter-long footpath for troops.

  5. Wiring pencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_pencil

    A small reel of insulated copper wire [2] is mounted at the top of the tool. The wire runs down the center of the wiring pencil and through a hardened tip, which is small enough to move between the pins of 0.1" pitch DIL chip allowing connections to be wrapped and the wire to be led across the circuit board to the next point it's needed.

  6. French drain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_drain

    A diagram of a traditional French drain. A French drain [1] (also known by other names including trench drain, blind drain, [1] rubble drain, [1] and rock drain [1]) is a trench filled with gravel or rock, or both, with or without a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area.

  7. Underground pneumatic boring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_pneumatic_boring

    The first hole is dug on one side of the obstacle. This hole must be large enough to fit the tool and allow the operator to aim it. The hole also must be deep enough so that, as the tool compacts the ground, the surface remains undisturbed. The depth of the starting bore pit depends on the type of soil being worked in and how well it compacts.

  8. Plug and feather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_and_feather

    The stone is first examined to determine the direction of the grain and to identify any potential defects. After the location of the intended split is chosen, a line is scored on the surface of the stone. A number of holes are then cut or drilled into the stone face along the scored line approximately 10 to 20 centimetres (3.9 to 7.9 in) apart.

  9. Earth-return telegraph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-return_telegraph

    Part of the Russian–American Telegraph line bearing the single wire of an earth-return circuit, c. 1866. Earth-return telegraph is the system whereby the return path for the electric current of a telegraph circuit is provided by connection to the earth through an earth electrode.
