After spending about 22 years as a surveyor I can tell you that they do sti=
ll make and supply the solder pieces in the tape repair kits. They have sav=
ed my skin many times. After one walks 5-10 miles into the back country the=
 last thing needed is no way to measure what you've been paid to go back an=
d measure.
I once knew a party chief who repaired his "chain" in a hurry, with a hango=
ver, and left out a 1/10th of a foot. Nothing he did would close (mathemati=
cally) for weeks, until he remembered the "repair".

Enjoy!
