This "Electronic Crosswords"
puzzle appeared in a 1967 issue of Electronics World magazine. It is a
fairly dense grid. A majority of the clues and words are electronics- or technology-related.
Even more than half a century after its creation, anyone who is reading this should
be able to complete it with no problem. Only 5 Down might be in foreign territory
to Millennials or younger, but but is easily guessed since only the last letter
does not have a crossing word to help. Enjoy! Mr. Kimsey created many crosswords
for Electronics World, including
May 1967,
December 1965,
September 1967,
and January 1965.
