June 1959 Electronics World

June 1959 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe Table of Contents 

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

Here is another tech-related crossword puzzle for you cruciverbalists to try out on your technical cognition. Unlike the weekly RF Cafe crossword puzzle that contains strictly engineering, science, mathematics and other tech words, this one from Electronics World magazine does have a few unrelated clues and words. The big difference between my making crossword puzzles now and when Mr. Shippee made his "Crossword Capers" puzzle is that he had to construct the grid of words manually, whereas I just create a huge file of words and definitions, draw the grid outline, and then click a button to have software put it all together. That's not to say my effort is trivial, but software does cut down on a lot of time, especially when dense grids are used with a lot of interlocking words.
