[Table of Contents]People old and young enjoy waxing nostalgic about
and learning some of the history of early electronics. Popular Electronics was published from October 1954 through April 1985. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Here
is another electronics quiz for you to try. It covers the functions
of resistors in various circuits. The quiz appeared in the January 1962
edition of Popular Electronics. I got 100%, just for the record. Having
worked with tubes helps with figure B since it does not really have
a direct transistor equivalent, but by process of elimination you can
get it.
