Do you remember the control panel with the six channel buttons across the
bottom? It's not visible in this shot.

Odd coincidence... This photo was taken with a full-frame fisheye. I
carried an Olympus OM at the time, and often took shots with such a lens.


I don't remember panel. I do remember them talking about spending time
tuning up there.

The transfer scan could have been better. I took the shot with pentax fixed
focus fisheye.

Picture that does have six channels. This might be same panel, but
reinstalled after some station updating.

That looks contemporary -- not much newer than the step tuner.

Note that the panel has controls to monitor the tube's beam current and set
the anode voltage. There are also meters to show the filament current. If it
recall correctly, if the filament wasn't hot enough, the cathode would be
stripped.

Ar, matey, that be it. I will save a copy. Thanks!

I assume this is a recent photo. (Note the modern piece of test equipment at
the top.) The system is still in use after 40 years!

That looks like a monitoring panel for a big TWT power amplifier.

Because that's what it is. The six buttons across the bottom select a channel,
using a step-motor system to reset the klystron's cavities.

Here's a simpler test. Are the following two lines the same?


"First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed." "It is
condemned as paradoxical"


Can you spot the difference?


Yes. Your underwear is washed in Blue Cheer, whereas I wear no
underwear.


Semper ubi sub ubi, Willie. Especially when you're so fond of being
caught with your pants down. You must still be traumatized by all the
wedgies you got in school.



Stop being a dick. No one here likes you.

that "modern piece of test equipment" looks like a TEK TAS 475.

so it depends on your definition of "modern"

Tobiah, [IMHO] a better retort would have been:

I wasn't sure of the make or model. But it's sure a lot more modern than what
we had in 1975!

Also, the photo "looks" digital, so I assumed it was recent. Does the OP know
the year it was taken?

I have a Tek 545 on my bench at work. The cal guys hate me. I keep it
there partly to annoy them, but actually it's a great scope if you give
it enough time to warm up and settle down.

The pic is a few years old. The station was set up for remote control. I
don't know what's current.

I'm going to say, at least 8 years old.

Okay, then... It was in use 32 years!

Have you noticed that your brain will keep working under cover on a
problem that you haven't solved yet if you just give it time?


The first time I ever heard of this was when I was looking through some
old (1950s) issues of Scientific American. There was an article on just
this subject by a European mathematician. He told a story of how he was
stumped by a problem he was trying to solve, and the solution came to him
just as he was stepping onto a train.

I've noticed the same kind of thing in myself many times, and I assume
the brain is capable of running background processes subconsciously. It
seems to work for me unless my attention is taken away by something that
saturates my senses or thought processes, requiring me to look at the
problem again to "reload".

In the 1950s, this effect would have seemed very mysterious to anyone,
but today, scientists are studying brain activity in real time (or
thereabouts) with brain scanners. Now it is understood that our brains
are active all of the time, and we are consciously aware of only a tiny
bit of the total activity.

That old thing about, "We use only 3% of our brains" was never true,
although something like that is true of the amount of our brain activity
we are conscious of.
