I guess a lot changed between 1975 and 1981. In my 1975 US Navy BEE school
they gave us the cheat sheet below. This chart pertains to any number of color
coded electronics, not only resistors, but also computer cards like those
found in the UNIVAC 1219.
My classmates were of all nationalities and races. We had Israelis, Iranians
and Kenyans in out classes all together.
Anyone remember the transistor theory BECky VOPINI AZAZA chart? You can draw
it in your mind.
0 = BLK > Bad
1 = BRN > Boys
2 = RED > Race
3 = ORN > Our
4 = YEL > Young
5 = GRN > Girls
6 = BLU > Behind
7 = VIO > Victory
8 = GRY > Garden
9 = WHT > Walls
Gold, Silver, and None were pretty obvious, who needs a cheat for that?
