Color Code Charts

Recently I discovered a web site that is really cool. It is called AmericanRadioHistory.com. I was reading the 1970 issue of Electronics Installation & Servicing Handbook when I stumbled onto this color code chart that I thought I would share.

Go to page six and you will find a Color Code Chart. I printed a copy to put in a binder that I keep in my lab called Construction Techniques. The older I get the more I tend to forget things and the binder is a great way to keep important information at my finger tips.

Going Digital - Journal of Power Management


Thanks to the rain yesterday, by the time I made it out to my mailbox, my paper copy of the Journal of Power Management was wet. Immediately I tried to pull apart carefully the pages before they got stuck. I ended up pulling out both staples and scattered each page around my living room to dry. This morning, as I was puting the dry journal back together, I noticed on page two the following:

"To reduce paper use, Power by Linear Journal is going digital and will no longer be regularly delivered as a printed publication.
