This is a small electronics lab in an altoids tin. It contains nearly everything to work on small projects, such as a breadboard, components (including several ICs), and a adjustable power supply. The power supply is a simple LM317 circuit, with the 317’s metal tab cut off to make it fit.

I was taking a correspondence course in electronics and this is the equipment I used. I built it all from kits. That’s how things in the olden days of the mid-1950s went for me. My life as a technical writer started from this point. On the strength of the electronics course, I got a job with a big aerospace company. At first, I was building test equipment, but the job led on to a tryout and then a position as a technical writer. I stayed with that profession for forty years.
