This quad of electronics-related comics appeared in the March 1967 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. Their themes reflect the norms and issues of the era. If you have ever had to re-string the dial cord on a radio where the path turned a few corners and ran around three or four tuning element pulleys, then you will appreciate the comic from page 101. My most challenging dial cord adventure was on a Realistic Patrolman-50 portable radio. It was bought on eBay, and the dial cord broke shortly after I received it. Without a routing diagram, it took a bit of head scratching to get figure out the correct direction for wraps around dials and pulleys. The oscilloscope display on the page 59 comic is pretty funny. Enjoy.

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... |
