Here be a new trio of tech-themed comics,
this time from the April 1961 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. The
one on page 69 is my favorite. In the page 85 comic, there is a squarish "U" shaped
line between the one guy's finger and the other guy's elbow, and I can't figure

Did people refer to that form of antenna as an "antler" back in the day? A firm
called MCM Manufacturing Company, in Fort Worth, Texas, made a line of mobile antennas
and support products (mounts, cables, etc.) called Antler CB Antennas, but from
what I can find they didn't come into being until the 1970s. The advertisement shown
here appeared in a 1977 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. Maybe I
missed something.

Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
