John Comstock created many crossword puzzles for Radio & TV News magazine, and a couple others, in the 1950s and 1960s. This one titled "Test Equipment Teaser," appeared in the March 1959 issue. It is not a densely populated grid with complex intersections of crossing words (unlike the RF Cafe crossword puzzles, which do have them), but at least with this kind, all of the words and clues are directly related to electronics and technology (like RF Cafe crosswords). Anyway, it shouldn't take you too long to zip through this one. The only clue/word that might give you trouble is 32 Across. Enjoy.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. 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... |
