TW>EV>I was a Radioman not a ET, so I wasn't taking part in the repairs to the
TW>EV>Radar System, I just thought that maybe I could learn something from

by the way

Tom,

In 1956 my High School had a Electronics class that I took before I
could take the Radio I or II class.

In Electronics, I learned Ohms Law and calculated the Voltage and
Current in different circuits that we wired from schematics using the
Large Wire Wound Resistors the teacher provided, and after doing the
calculations we connected a 12 VDC storage battery to our circuit to see
how close the VOM readings were to what we figured out on paper.

TW>Because fo the warm up burn in time on a New Tube the ET's built a rack
TW>with sockets for a set of finals with filament power so they were ready
TW>to go in case of a failure.

Yep!, You gotta plan ahead!
