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.

Robert M, Brown & Paul Lawrence

Elsewhere Online: AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive

This story from TechDirt lays out yet another reason I recommend that folks DON'T use the email provided to them by their ISP. My typical recommendation right now is to get a Gmail account instead. It also points out why I want to manage all my SPAM on my end, without pre-filtering from an ISP. I will gladly manage my spam if it helps to insure that I see as many of my "real" messages as possible. Again, Gmail's tools work pretty good in this regard. Having an alternative email account also insures you will keep the same email, even if you decide to leave your current ISP. Witness all the folks holding onto AOL accounts just to keep their AOL email address. Thank goodness at least that is free now. AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive You can certainly understand why ISPs offer spam filters. It's a service for users who don't want to be totally bombarded with spam. But what I've never understood is that these ISPs rarely give the user a
