One recalls those execrable low-profile cheap sockets from TI in the
early 70s. Horrible stuff.
Those were about the worst!
Aren't in fact, all wirewrap (board+pin) board
sockets machine-pin? I
don't recall seeing one that wasn't. Given the great track record of
wire-wrapped designs that says something, surely.
I have certainly seen, and may even still have, some formed-pin
(i.e. not turned pin) wire-wrap DIL sockets. I have no intention of
every using them though!
