I checked out the printed
circuit board maze and, as implied, all those beginning paths lead to $.
RCA (Radio Corporation of America), along with other companies
like
NRI (National Radio Institute), and
CIE (Cleveland Institute of Electronics, all had a unique angle.
Every company attempts to pique interest in its products and/or service by creating
buzzwords such as, in RCA's case, AUTOTEXT. AUTOTEXT is "a system of programmed
instructions, a method of learning provided with thousands of students. This beginning source in electronics is accurately planned so that as you read a series of statements,
questions, and answers, you learn almost without realizing it. It's fast! It's easy!
It's fun!" Learning by osmosis. What more could an aspiring technician ask for?
