[Boatanchors] Green Resistors

[Lawrence Mayhew]

These "green" resistors are from a program to construct an energy
independent broadcast station in Al Gore's backyard. Needless to say it was
"shorted" from the start.
Happy fourth everyone..........Larry in Seattle

Happy 4th to all,

Sorting through the pile of resistors in the junk box, I
came across a number of green molded ones. About the
same size as a 1 watt carbon comp. I broke open one
to see that the resistive element looks like a plastic
or glass tube about 1/8" in diameter, not wirewound.
Only markings are the usual 4 color bands.

They also haven't held on to their value very well, most
have drifted upwards well over 10%.

Anyone know the scoop on these, manufacturer etc?

Thanks
