It was obvious that he was a dictator who didn't allow his people the
freedoms that rich industrialists thought they could buy for themselves
anywhere. (They were wrong about that too.) I suspect that Hitler's
anti-Semitism was part of his attraction to many. That changed for a
while, but it seems to be resurgent.

Yes.

There is a book about Etaoin Shrldu and his wife Lousie.

appealing combination.
The good thing about researching old techniques is that you never know
when an updated version might be useful in solving a modern problem,
or when some deeply-buried mental analogy mechanism may use old ideas
to synthesize something new. Almost everything I ever learned, or ever
did, even though it may have seemed pointless at the time, adds to my
mental flexibility to invent new stuff.
I don't pretend, I invent. The reflex amp was a cool idea; some day I
may need to need to pass two separate frequency bands through a shared
pipelined multiplier in an FPGA, or consider the nonlinearities of a
multi-wavelength optically-pumped FDA. I'm currently redesigning a
50-year old, "obsolete" distributed amplifier using heterojunction
GaAs fets, to modulate the world's largest laser.
It sounds to me like your young brain is a lot more rigid than mine.
Radiotron is 50 years obsolete, so why do you consider it superior in
philosophy to, say, Morcroft's classic of 1927?
Books are sources for
ideas, not authority.

the Teletype....
Some people seem to think that simply being old gives
authority.
But this is, by definition, the old fartknocker thread where one can
rock on the porch and reminisce about "the good old days." Nevermind that a
good story is most often 90% myth and lore. Don't forget to trim the nose and
ear hair.
[rudeness to old fart deleted]Have fun old fartknockers. Swagger that old age. If only I can someday be an
old fartknocker with tales to tell about the glory days of youth. Maybe someday
I can be an old fartknocker, and demand respect just for being old.

No one said there might not be some application for the reflex concept someday.

Okay then. I think you and a few other old fartknockers are unnecessarily
uptight about old fartknocker ideas. Why not smoke some weed or something?
So what? Who said anything different? I think you just like to talk.
Speak to

Dumbass, you can't have it both ways. If you are using old ideas you aren't
inventing anything.
There is nothing wrong with using the ideas of others
(with a twist), but stop jacking yourself off in public.
No one said there might not be some application for the reflex concept someday.
That said, for what it _was_, it died in its own time.

Right, that's why I've made an effort to acquire a wide collection of
publications across the previous century.
Dumbass, where did I write that Radiotron was superior to anything?

then go understand the reflex before mouthing off about it. Open the
book of the circuit, follow it thru, and work out _why_ it was used so
much. Appreciate that valves cost a ruddy fortune in 1924, but
passives were relatively cheap. The reflex reduces the number of
valves used for a given total gain, while increasing use of passives
slightly. It knocked a god damn fortune off the very high price of
radios.

some do, but that is not relevant to this thread. You have failed to
spot where the implication of knowledge comes from.

dont forget to avaluate who youre dealing with first, and know your
own limits, helps to avoid making a fool of yourself.
dont forget its wiser to not make a fool of yourself. Ignorance is
fine, but ignorance that calls knowledge stupid is the true
foolishness.
maybe some day youll use your head, though we've not seen much sign of
it yet. Go ahead, amuse us some more. Why not start by telling us what
you can do electronics wise?
