The two disciplines of the VIC

Amp Restriction Let the voltage rise and keep the current out. Meyer's ten stages, and an eleventh, each in his words with what it means. Voltage Attenuation Bring the voltage up in steps and control gas by controlling voltage. Nine stages that run to fifteen, gaps and all.

Everywhere he went

39 places, from a doorbell on Marlane Drive to a congress in the Swiss mountains and a guard post on the Korean DMZ. Every pin carries the source it rests on, and the ones with no source say so. If you know a place the archive has missed, there is a form to tell us.

How the cross-referencing works

An author writes a citation in prose. It resolves to the real record on the page, and the record cited gains a backlink that nobody had to maintain.
