July 1960 Electronics World

July 1960 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe  Table of Contents

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 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."
