abundance of brightly colored re-
sisters, condensers, and tubes, hold
a fascination for him that makes
his fingers itch to explore.

resent success in trouble shooting
and is contributed to their own
ability.

are certain circuits that set up
oscillations, transmitting radio
frequency waves. This is some
