Si-diodes in Second World War radar & Communication equipment

ronwer · 2008-04-12T15:51:10+00:00

Hi!I am doing a study into the early use of silicon diodes in radar andcommunication equipment during the Second World War.What I would be interested in is as follows:-type numbers of the diodes-name/type number of radar/communication equipment-technical infor on those systems-info on producers-pictures of actual diodes, also "in" the circuits-anecdotal stories about the actual use-anything else!The information will be used for an on-going study project related topractical application of minerals (i.e. quartz) in industry and technology.So, since this is an aspect of a broader study, other quartz-related info wouldbe most appreciated, especially about early use of piezoelectricquartz crystals in electronic equipment.If you'd prefer, answering off-list is possible:Thanks for ANY help!RonaldNorway

Oops, you're right about my answering your question; mea culpa.

But, From my earlier posts I thought it should have been obvious that my choice of sexual partners would exclude men.

YMMV. JF

Wow, that's about as delicate a phrasing possible to avoid the actual question, namely do you _like_ women?

Lots of men, straight/gay/asexual/whatever, don't.

Unlike you, whose tail seems to wag involuntarily and uncontrollably when you\'re in the presence of women, some I do and some I don\'t. JF

Sure sounds like you only associate "liking" women with sex. Question answered, but it actually was answered before.

To you perhaps, but you distort what you hear in order to make it sound the way you want it to.
