The '''G727 grant continuity card''' (known to many as the 'knuckle-buster') was very small card ([[DEC card form factor|single]] width, but only approximately half the [[DEC card form factor|standard length]]) which plugged into an [[Small Peripheral Controller|SPC slot]] or [[Modified UNIBUS Device|MUD slot]] in a [[UNIBUS]] [[backplane]] in an otherwise-empty slot, and carried the [[bus grant line]] signals through the slot.

It carried only the BG4-BG7 grant lines from the 'in' pins to the 'out' pins. Since it contained no components, and had no handle, it could be used in slots which did not have the usual amount of space available (such as the [[MM11-D core memory]]).
