Why were resistors put in bakelite blocks?
#13

When I was a boy in college. My first professor said to us.
There are three types of engineer. Bad, Good and Great.

You wont find a bad one he said. They are Fired early on and go doing something else.
Good Engineers he said spend most of their time resolving problems left behind by other good Engineers.

Then there are the great Engineers. They design solutions without built in problems.

I guess Mr Grimes was just another good Engineer Eh.
