Right, I was just distinguishing between the wire being stripped vs having the crimp bite

Looking closely at them, there's actually two sections to the crimp, a short bit that
clamps the insulation and a longer section for the metal-to-metal contact.
I haven't experienced any problems with them, thankfully.
Would that be these?:

http://www3.telus.net/~bhilpert/tmp/HP2116C/backplane.jpg It's the backplane of an
HP2116C. I've always wondered what the tradename for the technique was. Looks like in
these machines the wire was stripped before crimping though.
Yes, that's it.
No, I am PRETTY sure the tool stripped the wire as it was
terminated. 
I actually worked at a place that used this system,
that was
in 1969. I believe the system came from AMP, but i could be wrong
on that.
I just looked, the edge connectors at least are indeed from AMP.
