[Hallicrafters] Cubit

[Barry H]

It's funny -- as I'm catching up on the posts, there's a program on the History Channel about "Digging for the Truth" -- archeological digs to check out the Old Testament.  Meanwhile, on the Hallicrafters list, what do I find?  A discussion about cubits.

Then, over on the Boatanchors list, there is a thread on the various configurations and possible intentions of the designers of the filament circuit and fusing of the BC-312's, 342's, etc.  The Tech Manual in that case is much more recent, about 60 years old, but still a mystery.

I dunno, maybe just a coincidence, but there's that "BC" in the prefix and we had a lot of rain, thunder and lightning yesterday.  Will they know about cubits at Home Depot?  Do they have silicone seal in 55 gallon drums?  Caulking gun would take forever.

Does this mean if ya can't 'cubit' you should square it?

For easy conversion keep this handy:

one League = 1019.599 Cubits

one Furlong = 36.91699 Cubits

one Fathom = 0.335609 Cubits

You're Welcome!  -Rich
