Electronics-Themed Comics
March 1962 Radio-Electronics

March 1962 Radio-Electronics

March 1962 Radio-Electronics Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Electronics, published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

These three technology-themed comics appeared in the March 1962 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. Not everyone has access to the previous month's issue (February) to get in on the implied gist of the page 57 comic. Since I own a copy, I looked it up and can tell you the referred-to piece is from the Industrial Electronic Dictionary entry for the month, concerning "From pulsation welding to register control." You can take it from there, while paying close attention to the wording. The page 85 comic implies what to a certain degree is a non sequitur, since in fact in the early days of television, before all households had AC line power service (namely those in remote locations prior to the Rural Electrification Act infrastructure build-out), some sets had a DC power option. It wasn't until the 1950s that nearly all farms had commercial power. Early Sears Roebuck catalogs had a large line of DC-powered tools, appliances, mechanisms and farm equipment that ran off deep storage battery banks charged by windmills and hydro generators - which they also sold. The page 101 comic augments those circuit builders who subscribe to the maxim that if a little solder is good, a lot of solder must be gooder [sic].
