|
||
factory to correct design or fabrication problems. Blue wire is not
|
||
necessarily blue, the term describes function rather than color. These may
|
||
be necessary if there hasn't been time to design and qualify another board
|
||
version. In Great Britain this can be <span class="firstterm">bodge
|
||
wire</span>, after mainstream slang <span class="firstterm">bodge</span> for a clumsy improvisation or sloppy job
|

of work. Compare <a href="../P/purple-wire.html"><i class="glossterm">purple wire</i></a>,
