[Hallicrafters] Hz vs. cps

You chide "us" to check the back issues if "we" do not remember? Hmm. Then 
you are not sure! Maybe you should check 'your' back issues OM. (chuckle)

Sounds like you also have a bit of a housecleaning issue going on there too. 
At least you are blessed with no allergies to Dust Mites, Dust Bunnies, 
Fungi, assorted bacterium and the like.

Personally I like my central air, the last I checked it used a large 
condensor.

If you want an education on the exactness of man, go to the library and read 
the 1951 World Book Encyclopedia set. Whether it is Kilocycles or Kilohertz, 
a yard or a meter, Centigrade or Selcious, vacuum tube or valve, windshield 
or windscreen etc. is mor a case of personal preferance than it is a case of 
"true" exactness. While a micro matters in a human heart valve and a 
thousandth of an inch matters in a flight to the Moon, for the vast majority 
of things, it does not matter.

How do we know that the color "red" is actually red? Somebody decided to 
call a particular hue "red" one day many thousands of years, maybe eons, 
ago, and so it is called "red". Never forget, what is today's truth is 
tomorrow's fallacy!

Hire a cleaning service OM, hate to hear about you being caried away by Dust 
Bunnies the size of picnic tables with flexible legs! As bad as those Texas 
Mosquitoes that take you home to snack on later!
