Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!


The electronic color code is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, very commonly for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, and others. The electronic color code was developed in the early 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers Association. Color bands were commonly use, especially on resistors, because they were easily printed on the, often tiny, components. They also had the advantage over text, because you can easily read them from all sides.
