Electronic Crosswords

This "Electronic Crossword" showed up in a 1960 issue of Electronics World magazine. Most of the words are directly related to the title's subject, but a few are everyday words to fill in where needed (as opposed to my RF Cafe crossword puzzles, which contain only applicable words). For instance the 22 Down clue of "Shoshonian Indian," while at first consideration might be deemed unrelated to a crossword puzzle with an electronics theme, it could be a reference to the Indians featured in many of the company advertisements back in the day, as Sangamo (and here, here, here) often did. Or, maybe the Indian chief in the old broadcast TV test pattern hailed from the tribe. Some of the clues include (colloq.) after them, which stands for colloquialism, or a shortcut / abbreviation often used to refer to the technical name. An example (not in this puzzle) would calling an attenuator a "pad." Electronic Crosswords How's your knowledge of electronic terminology and are you "up" on some of the little-known words to be found in any standard dictionary? Here is a chance for you to test yourself. If you get stuck, the answer is on page 120. By Gordon B. Duncan
