Maybe if you're having a challenging week, these three
electronics-themed comics from vintage Radio & Television News magazines
(1949 and 1951)
might ease the stress level a tad. The first one might seem like a stretch, but in
fact when I was in the USAF back in the early 1980s I made two lamps using the
big glass-encased thyratron tubes from our S-band airport surveillance radar
sets as the central column. One of them broke, and the other I can't recall what
happened to it; I might have given it to someone as a gift. I'm
not sure what the horse racing comic is meant to depict, other than maybe nowadays
you can watch your pick lose the horse race on the TV rather than needing to actually
be at the track. The ham comic is almost punny ;-) I took the liberty
of colorizing them. Enjoy.
