I think back then they used different wire wrap sized
wire on the back planes
Oh, yes, the older DEC backplanes MIGHT have used a
different wire size. But, all I am familiar with seem to
have used #30 AWG wire. But, I have not worked extensively
with PDP-8's, but I'm pretty sure by the 8L they would have
used the #30 wire.
