Don wrote one, too? I only know the TTL Cook Book from Texas Instruments. Never had it but I've seen a German edition of it, early
90's AFAIR. A guy showed me a circuit in it and then the circuit. Didn't work. Well, turns out he must not have read the book cover to cover because I am sure it mentions the need for bypass caps in there somewhere. I was quite stunned that TI still published literature in foreign languages at that time.
I was just checking the DIR pin polarity on an ACT245. That's a hell of a pin driver, if you put all the sections in parallel.

NT expounded in news: snipped-for-privacy@q2g2000yqh.googlegro ups.com:
Ah, the good ole days when things were in MC (megacycles).

Before megacycles it was meters. Before meters it was 0-100, with no correlation with anything.

Before that it was 0-10 (for fingers) or 0-20 (if you included tones). And thse days it is 0 toi 1 (for digital).
Cool, We've got an almost (missing first three years) complete set of Reveiw of Scientific Instruments. A college library was throwing them out and a colleague grabbed them. One of the best parts is all the old adds from the 50's and 60's. I like to take one off the shelf and thumb through it when I have to go to the 'reading room'.

Wow, what are the 'woven' coil varible inductor/transformer things? Is one the antenna?
George H.
Oh, yeah? Well I have a 1948 (25th) edition of The Radio Amateur's Handbook published by the ARRL.
C'mon, what else you got?
I also have a 1964 edition of the GE "Essential Characteristics" book of tubes.
1957 Command set conversion manual (converting WW II era equipment for amateur use) 1962 RCA transmitting tube manual
1974,1976 Don Lancaster's TTL Cookbook and TV Typewriter Cookbook
Did he say which of the information was out of date? ;-)

Well, they've come up with different plate designs, in the trade-off between deep-cycle vs. cold cranking amps and so on.
I was astonished the first time I saw one of those little jump-starter batteries, about the size of a lunchbox, but it's been explained to me, as long as it can do the amps, you don't need a lot of amp-hours to crank a car motor until it starts. (hundreds of amp-seconds, maybe. :-)
Cheers! Rich

I have the 1946 edition, because it was a Very Important Year.
I have a 1963 Allied catalog, too. And some really old stuff.

50mA per device (max for power and ground pins)?
RDRE is good to have around, most any year. Cheap on ebay, last time I looked.
John
The Vcc and Gnd pins are rated 200 mA continuous. 5 volts into 50 ohms is only 100.
John
From:
Page 2: Maximum ratings: DC Vcc or GND Current per Output Pin +/- 50mA.
I ought to go list my library. The only one I know for sure that you pre-date me (from memory) is that my Radiotron Designer's Handbook is the 1956 edition ;-) ...Jim Thompson
