      TW>EV>I was a Radioman not a ET, so I wasn't taking part in the repairs to the       TW>EV>Radar System, I just thought that maybe I could learn something from       TW>EV>watching the ETs at work.              TW>I was an Interior Comunications Electricial and did the same thing on       TW>a Submarine because of my Interenst in "Electronics". Which by the way       TW>when I was in high School was called "Radio Electricity"              Tom,              In 1956 my High School had a Electronics class that I took before I       could take the Radio I or II class.              In Electronics, I learned Ohms Law and calculated the Voltage and       Current in different circuits that we wired from schematics using the       Large Wire Wound Resistors the teacher provided, and after doing the       calculations we connected a 12 VDC storage battery to our circuit to see       how close the VOM readings were to what we figured out on paper.              TW>Because fo the warm up burn in time on a New Tube the ET's built a rack       TW>with sockets for a set of finals with filament power so they were ready       TW>to go in case of a failure.              Yep!, You gotta plan ahead!                      * SLMR 2.1a #T348 * Seven days without Jesus makes one weak.       --- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux        * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938 (1:2320/105.1)    |
