F. E. Recipe
Take a gallon of smiles
Briskly stir with confusion
Have a tool box nearby
To keep up the illusion.

Pour in oscilloscope
Trace lightly with fork
Mix spices with screws
Then carefully torque

Place site in the oven
Til parts can arrive
Then call for a specialist
If you hope to survive.

FEs GOT CLASS!
CLASS 52
  • After eight weeks of FE Class #52, we couldn't think of anything more to shove down their throats, so we graduated them. Class #52 worked hard in training and (with a little help from you old-timers) will undoubtedly do a good job. who knows, maybe some of the bad habits they picked up in Sunnyvale, like TO-17 usage, filling out I.R.s, P.M., etc., may rub off on some of you.
