If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?
This one is getting a whole lot old.

Klein, you said you were an OF. Any olde-fahrt ought to KNOW that silver-mica capacitors were color-dot-coded for about a quarter century. [look in the 1976 ARRL Handbook] Those flat cases were eventually displaced by dipped silver-mica. Paper tubular capacitors in molded plastic tubular casings were marked with color bands and were on the market for at least 15 years, maybe 20...until aced out by ceramic disc capacitors for general bypassing and coupling applications (by both tube and transistor architecture electronics). ANYONE with hands-on experience in electronics between 1950 and about 1970 would KNOW that. [okay, folks, looks like there's another imposter here...at least this one isn't trying to pass hisself off as some marine NCO...:-) Try reading what I wrote. Tsk, Klein, you don't write enough to read. I'm not the one who misread "capacitors didn't *ESCAPE* getting color coded" for "capacitors didn't *GET* color coded" - YOU DID! Nice attempt at misdirection, but a very old technique. :-) That sort of misdirection is puerile (meaning childish). If you have some bona fides on English grammar and some false idea that ALL must be literal with NO departure from such literalness, please state them. Otherwise go into auto-fornication mode since we ain't buyin that, homie. :-) Let's reprise. First you state that capacitors were never color coded. You got called on that and corrected by more than myself. Secondly, you've never admitted being wrong or corrected. Third, you try to (badly) convince others that those who corrected your statement are "wrong" or "at fault." Amazing. You make mistakes and then try to convince all that those mistakes never happened or that it is "wrong" to try to correct your mistakes! :-) who that we know does that Sound Like Len remind you of a certain exMarine we know and loathe Here's some more to chew on: RFCs (Radio Frequency Chokes, inductors) in axial-lead plastic tubular packages are STILL marked with color-code bands. There's a MIL SPEC on that as all "long-time design engineers" should know; such parts are even used in commercial market electronics. It's really irrelevant HOW capacitors are marked as long anyone using them can know their value and working voltage and tolerance and apply them properly. There are 7 (seven) amateur radio licensees in the USA that could answer to "Al Klein." Are you one of those? I can say without hesitation that I am NOT a licensed amateur. I am a licensed commercial-professional in radio and have been so for 50 years, beginning in military 24/7 big-time HF communications 53 1/2 years ago. I have all sorts of valid documentation on that and some in here have seen some of that. Do you have ANYTHING in the way of ID? On the Internet? Or, are you going to scribble meaningless misdirections in here, attempting to portray some personal "outrage" for being corrected? Especially about a well-known electronic component identification method which you don't seem to know yet others can verify? I'll just put you down as an IMPOSTER poster, one of those wanna-bees who might never have been anything but really, really wants to be someone. That's up to you. I don't care. I've seen your kind on the Internet, on the Bulletin Board Systems since 1984. None have anything worthwhile to contribute but all wanting to be a SOMEBODY on screens. |
