Skin effect conductors plated millimeters - perhaps micrometers - thick. Not solid bars. At 24 (28?) volts it was probably a DC bus so no skin effect. I used to have some plug-ins for old tube-type computers, functionally equivalent to a maybe six transistor circuit. And now you get millions of transistors on a chip. Those old machines were a marvel to behold, including the massive amounts of power consumed for what are now trivial operations.

Which explains a lot.

" Like any other gub'ment project ....million dollar hammer or billion $ toilet seat... it could have been done easier and much cheaper."
I can relate,......When I was jobbing for TRW on the Hunter UAV,....a goofy latch that held a Shelter goor halfway open on a dirty Humvee would be specced to be spooled up out of 17-4 PH, and passivated,......when cold rolled and krylon would have been overkill.
