Thank you Hans, I'm forever indebted to you.
Thank you, Doctor Carmenzind, for the fascinating little chip that launched my career. The 555 timer applications handbook and a simple old 3 tube scope taught me well.

Same here. Four many of us early hobbyists, the 555 replaced the ornery NE-2 lamp in a very wide range of projects.
I bet there was more the four !!!!
I wager that the sentiment applies two many of us.
Rosemont? Be that Emerson? I did a few projects for them via Pomeroy et all. ...Jim Thompson

Without comment, I will attribute that to your seniority. ;-)
