These two tech-themed comics from the September 1969
issue of Electronics World magazine are pretty good. I especially like the one where the guy's
wife entered his printed circuit board layout in an art contest. PCBs were just starting to
gain momentum in production electronics as they replaced the old point-to-point wiring method.
Also popular in that era was high fidelity stereo equipment. Owning a
system with speakers that operated from 1 Hz through
30 to 40 kHz was major evidence of an audiophile's technical savvy, even though the human
ear con only detect frequencies in the 30 Hz to 20 kHz range. Dogs can hear frequencies
up into the 45 kHz range. Porpoises can hear up to 150 kHz. A ferret can hear from
16 Hz to 44 kHz, which is better than the auditorily[sic] celebrated humpback whale,
which only hears from 20 Hz to 24 kHz. I colorized them.

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... |
