You have to be careful when
working this crossword puzzle from the August 1960 edition of Popular Electronics because
in one instance the name of a certain federal agency has changed since then, and in another
instance the element cited as being "commonly used" no longer is. It will add to the
challenge, which, honestly, is not all that great. I did not have the magazine page with
the solution available when posting this so I had to work the puzzle myself to create
a solution.
