[Elecraft] Tech Writing

[Mel Farrer]

One of the greatest finds I made, years ago, was come across engineering books 
written prior to WWII.  They don't assume "anything" and while it takes longer 
to get through a point, once there, education has been accomplished.

Absolutely Mel. One of the skills is getting engineers to put themselves 
in the shoes of users and put aside much of the technical detail they 
know so intimately and tell a story without assuming the reader is an 
equal expert in the subject matter. In the software industry, it can be 
quite hard finding people who are both good designers and communicators.
