N. B.

Because these projects are fairly complex, we would not recommend them to the inexperienced constructor. The dimensions and mounting details given in this guide are those that applied to the prototype and should only be used as a guide, as the builder may well construct module boards, or use components of a different dimension to those used in the prototype.

Many of the modules may be constructed simply on Vero-board or an equivalent type of assembly board, alternatively it is quite possible for an experienced amateur to design and etch his own printed circuit boards.
