[Elecraft] More Dumb Stuff

[Douglas Westover]

Back in 1952 I was a high school freshman and a brand
new Novice. On my way home from school I would drop
in on my "Elmer", W2FIJ, who ran a Radio/TV repair shop.
Ralph would impart his vast knowledge of electronics and
let me poke around in his parts bins. One day I came across
a beautiful "volt" meter so of course I had to measure a
battery.....

I learned a lot of things that afternoon, a serious lesson
in Ohms law, what a meter shunt does, and a number of
words I hadn't heard before! It WAS a very nice microamp
meter movement.

Well, I worked that off on weekends stuffing tubes in the
tube checker, sweeping the shop's floor and learning
much more in the process.
