[NJARC] Reward Offered: Be on the Look out

[Alex Magoun]

This just in from Down Under:

A reward of 500 microfarads has been offered for information leading to the
arrest of Hopalong Capacity. This unrectified criminal escaped from a
Weston standard cell where he had been clamped in ions awaiting the Gauss
Chamber.

He is charged with the murder of his Aunt Enna and his Uncle Con Denser, as
well as the induction of an 18-turn coil named Millie Henry, who was found
choked and robbed of valuable joules. He is armed with a carbon rod and is
a potential killer. Capacity is also charged with driving a DC motor over a
Wheatstone bridge and refusing to let the band pass.

If encountered, he may offer series resistance. The Electromotive Force
spent the entire night searching for him in a magnetic field where he had
gone to ground. They had no success and now believe he has returned ohm via
a short circuit.

He was last seen riding a megacycle with his friend Eddy Current who was
playing a harmonic. Charges against Hopalong Capacity are being considered
under those pertaining to Ohm's Law.
