And that's a tokamak, an experimental nuclear fusion reactor.Originally Posted by W9JEF
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I thought it was a tokamak to deal with any tertiary subspace anomaly a star ship may encounter? :chin:
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
Walk and Talk like a Canajun!!
We'uns don't take kindly to subspace anomalies in this here universe, stranger.

The last one I remember got its ass kicked all the way to Toronto, and then had its name changed to Rob Ford, at which point it started abusing crack and round bacon.

Easy—that's an ion gun.

That is a multimeter. The symbols appear to be V-, V~ and an Omega, for DC volts, AC volts, and Ohms. Notice the probe sticking out the top of the thing. It looks like one that was fairly common many years ago, that I think was HP's, in which case the display would be LED's. I don't understand the slide switch with the walking man symbol, or the long slide switch on the handle. Ah, there it is, I found it:
Nice job. And, BTW, as I suggested it came out in 1973, not in the Sixties. Here's a link to an article about it in CQ Magazine. By the way, the "walking man" switch inverts the display so you don't have to try and read it upside down.That is a multimeter.

That thing is so 60s/70s modern, I was really beginning to doubt if it really ever did anything.
Maybe the mods should move this to one of the tech areas? It'd be a rare contribution by me.
