Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

This Electronic Crosswords puzzle appeared in the May 1967 edition of Electronics World magazine. Most of the words are related to electronics and science (unlike my RF Cafe crossword puzzles, in which ALL words are pertinent. I will admit though, that I use software to help fill in the matrix (using a database of thousands of hand-entered words and definitions), whereas Mr. Kimsey had to do this one all by himself. If you happen to be an avid cruciverbalist, then you might want to try a few of the RF and microwave engineering themed crosswords that I have been publishing weekly for two decades (list at bottom).

Every word in the RF Cafe crossword puzzles is specifically related to engineering, mathematics, and science.

Cruciverbalist:

A cruciverbalist is a person who is skilled at creating or solving crossword puzzles. The term is a combination of "cruci-" from "crucifix," meaning cross, and "verbalist" from "verbal," indicating a person who deals with words. cruciverbalists are often responsible for designing crossword puzzles, and they possess a deep knowledge of wordplay, vocabulary, and the techniques used in constructing and solving crosswords. They aim to make puzzles that are both challenging and enjoyable for crossword enthusiasts.
