   > 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.

   Guess it depends on where you learned it.  I heard it the first way back   
   around 1965.  Before that I knew the colors for the resistors and could   
   just look at one and tell what it was for most of them.  Did not have to   
   even think of what number each color was.
