When a Electronics Technician years ago on the line testing tape drives for IBM ('66 to '68), when we had to crimp a connector, had to use a calibrated tool that was within the usage date to insure a correct connection. There was a tool for each size connector. Believe the tools were made by Berg. There were several soldered wires on the drive and we were required to be a certified solderer to repair connections.
