Historical Technology Books - 44 in a series - How To Read Electronic Circuit Diagrams by Robert M. Brown; Paul Lawrence (1972)

Preface

Circuit diagrams are the basic means for relating information regarding the construction and functions of electronic equipment, a method of showing the circuits and components in symbolic or pictorial form in a universal language. Therefore, the ability to read and understand electronics circuit diagrams is a must for those who aspire to a career in electronics or for those who will pursue electronics as a hobby. In this book you learn the significance of each type of diagram* Some show specific circuits with each part represented by a schematic symbol-while others use actual photographs or drawings to illustrate the appearance and physical location and relation of each part and circuit wiring—a pictorial or layout diagram. Thus you learn to recognize each diagram for its intended purpose, and develop the ability to derive the correct information from the maze of weird looking symbols and lines*

We begin with the basics—schematic symbols—so as not to leave out anything necessary to a thorough understanding. Then, we progress to actual diagrams and show you how to analyze each type —to read the diagram and acquire an understanding of how the device really works. In so doing, you also learn where to look for trouble and how to determine whether or not a circuit is doing what it was designed to do.. The appendix includes all currently used electronic symbols, and a glossary explains the most commonly encountered terms.

Shared calendars are one part of an organized family

by Douglas E. Welch , techiq@welchwrite.com 206-338-5832 Reader/Listener Line As a parent with a school-age child, I often hear other parents bemoaning their disorganized existence. Along with the busy schedules of two working parents you might have art classes, karate classes, Little League, soccer and more. Add in more than one kid and organizing your life can quickly become a nightmare. This is exactly why one of my most important organizing devices is a shared calendar that reflects all the activities and events for everyone in the household...and I do mean everything. If someone -- is required to be somewhere -- at sometime, it goes into the calendar. If we are given a calendar that reflects all the events for a particular activity (say, Little League), all these events immediately go into the calendar, along with notations on whether we are providing the team snack, working in the snack bar, etc. Even events that occur anytime during the day, like family birthdays, and other rem...

Google Docs adds templates

I have started to move away from using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc) in favor of online tools like Google Docs . Even as a computer consultant, I find that I use probably less than 10% of the features in any of these projects. One feature I really like in Google Docs is the easy, online file sharing that also allows you to edit simultaneously with someone else. Today, Google Docs added some templates including business cards, brochures and more. At the moment, it looks like they are rolling out this feature over time, so you might not yet see the templates on your account. When available, you will find the templates under the New... menu item. From Open Loops ... Today, Google quietly rolled out a new feature for their Google Docs Applications: Templates! It's so new that it isn't even listed on the new features page at this time. When one opens their Google Docs account and chooses to start a new document, a new "From Template..." command is pre...
