???? I think here in the states we call it a dropping resistor. Never heard of one being named after it's price.[Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smi...on_lol.gif]
Sure looks like something is lost it's lunch inside the cabinet.
(and I meant to say "bucking") - yes I know we call it dropping resistor. I just felt creative and named it after the action it performs. Which is, well, a bucking action after all.  > Which is, well, a bucking action after all.
Isn't that the thing you sit on and drop a quarter in in front of the food store???
When I see bucking I think of a transformer using the pri connected to one side of the sec to buck out of phase or in phase volt adding or subtracting the sec voltage's. Like a bucking transformer. Resistor don't necessarily care about the phase relationship.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
