behavior of pentodes was called the "phantastron". It was widely used in radar and scopes and timing circuits."
I wish my Uncle was alive so I could ask about that. He used to work on RADAR in the air force. Electronics was his MOS (?) and later he was a tech specialist with IBM.
Well there you go, I don't learn something unless I step in it. No matter how many times you tell me.

I believe MOS is the correct term for Military Occupational Specialty.
Could be. Lots of folks survive heart attacks, though.

Sure but you can't help it if it comes while you're driving. I knew a guy who died that way, who might have survived if it happened in the office.
And you know this, how?
None of the articles I've ever seen, or have been able to find, identified the cause of the accident. Some reports said the CHP was investigating but I have been unable to find any public report on their actual findings. It appears that in California, one must be an "interested party" in the legal sense to be able to receive a copy of a police report concerning an accident.
So, krw, are you speaking from direct knowledge, some authoritative reference that others can see, rumor, or personal opinion?
Or in a car with air bags, crumple zones, and a rigid passenger compartment--IOW anything made in the previous 15 years or so. The old Beetle was a deathtrap.

The guy I knew had a new car. But in any case it doesn't mean Pease wasn't qualified to write a book on driving. He was just too much in love with that car.
People in the know. He was a well known drunk.
Especially when you don't wear a seat belt.
