You have to be careful
when working this crossword puzzle from the August 1960 edition of Popular Electronics
magazine
because in one instance the name of a certain federal agency has changed since then,
and in another instance the element cited as being "commonly used" no longer is.
It will add to the challenge, which, honestly, is not all that great. I did not
have the magazine page with the solution available when posting this so I had to
work the puzzle myself to create a solution. If you are an ardent cruciverbalist
as am I, you might want to try some of the hundreds of
technically-themed
crossword puzzles I have created which have only words and clues related to
science, engineering, mathematics, etc.
