Through-hole (leaded) resistors on a paper tape. When mounted to a PCB, the resistors are removed from the tape and their leads are trimmed to required length.
Via (electronics)

A via is an electrical connection between two or more metal layers of a printed circuit boards or integrated circuit. Essentially a via is a small drilled hole that goes through two or more adjacent l

…layers, generally by soldering, which both electrically connects and mechanically fastens the components to the board. Another manufacturing process adds vias, metal-lined drilled holes that enable electrical interconnections between conductive layers, to boards with more than a single side. Printed circuit…
