Terry Casey explained :
Usually a much more compacr result that possible with other
construction methods, particularly if the inter-strip
capacitance of Veroboard ruled out that method for the
particular application.

For the more complex stuff, I used a system rather like a wire wrap
system. It used a fine enamelled wire from a plastic pen, and plastic
combs to control the wire on the board. You simply wrapped around a IC
pin, then hooked onto the comb, to you next pin and so on, then you
soldered. It allowed some fairly complex stuff to be built, providing
cross-talk or capacitance between wires wouldn't a problem. It used the
Veroboard with tiny copy patches at the holes, or Veroboard prototyping
boards. You could also make connections to tiny pins which were a tight
fit to the Veroboard holes. It was very easy to make up memory boards
on Euro size boards.
