[time-nuts] Bell Labs ad 1952

[paul swed]

Yes remember back then there was Ready Kilowatt (Detroit Edison) power was
cheap cheap cheap and 600 tubes made lots of sense for winter heating.
Those were the days of all electric house heat. Instant on.
Alas this conversation is wayyy of of time-nuts.
Back to time-nuts. All of the past is why its so impressive that in 10
watts you can get a heck of a time reference these days. See a save for the
time-nuts thread.
