[sdiy] Interesting header/socket making tool

[Loscha]

Thank you to  everyone for the responses.

So, it seems it was a way to make a 40 pin socket when you don't have a 40
pin socket was the right answer.

Ingo, your information about it being used to solder both sides of a header
on boards before plated through holes makes very good sense to me! I've
seen some very busy boards using 40 pin CPUs!

I remember seeing DIY kits from back in the 1990s where you had to solder a
jumper wire on both sides of the board. It surely would have been a
difficult fault to debug if you hadn't followed the instructions for the
project properly.
