What is it? Set 372

I really hope the owner of 2144 is not in Texas:

"In 1989, the statute was amended and requires anyone who sells, transfers, furnishes, or purchases certain precursor chemicals or certain laboratory apparatus to be regulated by DPS. "

""Chemical laboratory apparatus" means any item of equipment designed, made, or adapted to manufacture a controlled substance or a controlled substance analogue, including:" ...(D) a three-neck or distilling flask (H) an Erlenmeyer, two-neck, or single-neck flask (I) a round-bottom, Florence, thermometer, or filtering flask (here's my favorite...) (K) a transformer

Gotta luv 'em...

test of budding young electrical engineers is to have them figure out what's in the box by making electrical tests only.

Despite the color scheme, this is called a "black-box test".

Well Joe, the famous "Black Box" which was invented by an Australian and is in every aeroplane, is orange.

I wasn't aware that Wilhelm Cauer was an ozzie.

I realize that some citizens of the US, have misinterpreted the name Australia and confused it with Austria, which are approximately 9000 miles apart But, although Austria is close to Germany, let us not confuse the subject further Wilhelm was a German and had nothing to do with flight recorders at all.

Wilhelm Cauer (June 24, 1900 - April 22, 1945) was a German mathematician and scientist. He is most noted for his work on the analysis and synthesis of electrical filters and his work marked the beginning of the field of network synthesis.

Don't know where you got your information from, but, this may clear things up for you:

Dr David Warren of the Aeronautical Research Laboratories in Melbourne, Australia invented the "Black Box" flight data recorder. He was the first person to conceive of the idea of recording the flight crew's conversation on an airplane and of protecting that recording in the event of a crash or fire. The purpose of the Black Box was to help identify the reasons for a plane crash, by recording any clues in the flight crew's conversation. The Black Box was invented in 1953 and in production by 1957. The first ones were painted bright red or orange to make them easier to find after a crash. In 1960, Australia became the first country to make flight recorders mandatory in aircraft.

I have no confusion on any of these topics. Geo Frost indicated that the term black box was related to flight recorders.

I point out that Wilhelm Cauer was the originator of network synthesis for the transfer functions of black boxes in the 1940's.

Hell, BF Skinner's "Black Box" isn't even a box.

I believe the first time the world saw a famous black box was December

26, 1908. It was in Sydney, but Burns was Canadian and Johnson was American.

In response to Jack London's appeal, Jeffries offered to prove that the white man was king of them all in 1910. Friends dragged him from the ring before the referee could count a knockout. Whites rioted in 50 cities across the US. In a joint project, film companies made a $250,000 documentary. Congress banned transporting the film across state lines. Teddy Roosevelt, until that point an avid boxing fan, said the sport should be banned.

Johnson was sentenced to federal prison because he'd once had a white girlfriend. He went on a world tour instead. Then he invented a new wrench. He returned to the US and took up residency in Leavenworth so he could get in patented: 1,413,121. I don't know why Rob hasn't displayed it!

You seem to have confused "famous 'black box'" with "'famous Black' box."

One's a noun, the other's a verb.
