There where machines that would do low volume complected boards. Remember how time consuming a hand taped PCB was back in the day.
Plus cuts and jumpers are very easy with wire wrap. There where studies that showed that they where just as reliable as PCB (yes If that hard to believe too, but there it is).

   yes            01/01/70 00:00      
   Not just for rapid prototyping ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      NASA used it too!            01/01/70 00:00      
   Yes            01/01/70 00:00

               re:DIL            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I remember these            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I agree            01/01/70 00:00      
                        there were several influences            01/01/70 00:00      
                  but this looks like - OK let's call it DIP...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Density            01/01/70 00:00      
                        this is beyond my imagination            01/01/70 00:00      
                           skipped slots            01/01/70 00:00      
                              In some backplanes, they interfere            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Oh I see. Thanks.            01/01/70 00:00      
               DIL = DIP            01/01/70 00:00      
   How many points for these?            01/01/70 00:00      
      +10 points each...            01/01/70 00:00      
      How about "multiwire"            01/01/70 00:00      
         I remember those            01/01/70 00:00      
            i remember multiwire            01/01/70 00:00      
               Same as wirestitch and stitchweld            01/01/70 00:00      
   yes            01/01/70 00:00      
   Some serious wire-wrapping for you...            01/01/70 00:00      
      thanks            01/01/70 00:00      
      I see the wires, but where's the wrapping?            01/01/70 00:00      
         WHAT??? You want details?            01/01/70 00:00      
         some wirewrapping here...            01/01/70 00:00      
            God all mighty            01/01/70 00:00      
               and how much time doe is take...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Low cost, high volume wire wrapping            01/01/70 00:00
