BISHOP GRAPHICS was the supplier of my peel and stick art work. i would think of the design draw it up go thru all the connections and bill's of materials.(bom)..the artwork came in 1x1,2x1,3xi and so on. now adays cad is all i use..........thx god........auto router! not to sure abuot the book of pcb's i vaguly remember that ! i learned the hard way... well any way i still make prtotype pcb's single,double sided but no feed thrus...to coonect feed thru's use stranded wire and only use a single strand to go thru the pcb's (like under a ic socket,and some components like relay or db 25 headder)........just giving my 2 cents worth...........tim -----Original Message----- From: William K.
