Light emitting diodes. Solid state devices that provide the ubiquitous power and indicator lights on your electronic gadgetry. Unlike lamps, there are no filaments that glow. Rather, some two volts of DC power at a miniscule 10 to 20 milliamps of current get the chemistry excited, and they just plain emit. Emit is a good word, too, as they don't really cast light, but glow brightly. We have a nice assortment of 3 and 5 MM diameter sizes in red, green, orange, and yellow. The longer lead is always positive, the shorter always negative, and you always need a current limiting resistor (about 500 to 1,000 ohms for 5 to 9 volt DC sources) to keep the current in the 10-20 MA range. If that's Greek to you you're either going to blow a lot of LED's or learn to change incandescent indicator lamps ! !

One of those clear plastic jobs that goes over an automotive light or some such. It provides a bit of focusing to strengthen the beam and some protection, but isn't really an optical element. This one is 2-7/8" sq. x 9/16" thick. Actually, the plastic is only about 1/8" thick, but there is a rim to the rear which gives it overall depth. Good protection for outdoor lights. Could be set in the outhouse door to admit distorted light. Or flip it over and serve nuts in it.

Called "Hang 10" (groan) by the manufacturer, it is a grey plastic rack that will hold (10) CDs hanging on... With screw holes and mounting tape you can hang it and its load most anywhere you please. The holder is 2-1/2" x 11", but loaded it probably needs at least a 4" x 12" space. Call it "handy", call it "clever", just don't call it "Hang 10". Okay?

Our name for this "beige box" which lets you hook up as many as (4) phones to (1) line when the phones have 4-line cords and the line terminates in a standard modular receptacle. Just plug the box into the modular receptacle, pry off the lid and wire in (1) to (4) phones (or lines) and fasten the box to the wall. The box is 4-1/4" x 2" x 1-1/8" thick and phone beige. Sounds like a way to get the phone, the fax, the computer and an extension all on to a single line??

Never seemed fair to nail the "lazy" tag so permanently on the "Susans" but that probably has no "bearing" on the issue. Also called turntable bearings, they are the square, flat ball bearing devices YOU bolt between two flat objects to achieve rotation. Like that spinning center section of a Chinese restaurant table. We had these in surplus once and they were quite popular. To our chagrin, we discovered they could be bought commercially for the same price. So we did. The 4" version is rated for a 300lb. load, the 6" for 500lbs., and the 12" (round) for 1000lbs.
