Re: that e-bay reference: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Vintage-/17574...=tag+strip
The first item that appears - two parallel rows of tags mounted on a strip of paxolin (or possibly SRBF) - is what is commonly known as a 'group board'. Further down appears a similar item called a 'fibre glass turret terminal strip': O.K., if that's what the vendor want to call it - fine. But to me it's still a 'group board'. I've always understood that a 'tag strip' is a length of any insulating material that has one row of solder tags mounted on it. That strip may have mounting lugs / solder tags that double up as a chassis connection / earthing points at various places.
