Someone mentioned the erstwhile multivibrator, is there such
a thing, yahoo doesn't have it ?
Hi, Phil. You can check Google for anything in these newsgroups more than a
few days old. Looking at the thread, they were talking about an FM transmitter
oscillator. I'm not sure what happened to the link, but it's not accessible
right now, so I can't say for sure. It seems they were either talking about a
Hartley oscillator or a "Kaliatron" oscillator. The second comes up blank both
on Google and in the attic upstairs. The use of the word "erstwhile" was a
rhetorical flourish someone used to talk about oscillator exposition from
memory in one of his theory classes. The word means "former" or "in the past".
Good luck
Chris
