R-E Puzzler

April 1967 Radio-Electronics  [Table of Contents]

Here is another "R-E Puzzler," by Mr. Edmund Braun, this one in the April 1967 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. Unlike traditional crossword puzzles, this one has no linking Down words, only Across words. Maybe he should have dubbed it an "acrossword puzzle." The format does make figuring out some of the words more difficult than the other way, but at least one letter - never more than two - is provided for each word. I managed to get all except number 7, "Phenolic compound having good electrical resistance." After looking at the answer, I feel like an idiot - definitely should have gotten it after mentioning it in my write-ups so often. Hopefully, you will do better. If you like this R-E Puzzler, there are others in the Jan '67, Mar '67, Apr '67, Aug '67, and Oct '67 issues.

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... |
