James/Baxandall tone stack rant.

[rant mode]

The James tone stack was invented by James. Peter Baxandall put the James tone stack in a negative feedback loop to make it an active tone stack. To say "passive Baxandall" is to slight the original inventor James.

E.J. James described the tone stack in February, 1949 in a Wireless World article:

Placing the James tone stack in a negative feedback circuit was described by Peter Baxandall in an October 1952 article in Wireless World:

To further add insult to injury, if you search Google for E. J. James, it will autocorrect E. J. James to E. L. James, author of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Can we not show E. J. James some respect? He invented a cool tone stack dammit.

BTW, how cool was Wireless World.

The E.L. James tone stack is to adjust the gray noise.

You guys need to get your facts straight. Randall Smith invented the James and Baxandall stacks, the Schmidt inverter, and edited Wireless World.

A brilliant man, Mr. Randall Smith. So great was his intellect, that some of his patented circuitry designs were widely in use before the man was even born -- thus transcending the limits of time and space.....

While we're getting our facts straight ...... it was Peter Green that wrote Black Magic Woman, and NOT Carlos Santana.






edited to insert missing apostrophe ..... because, it matters

Here's a good one!
Jeff Beck originally wrote Superstition,but gave it to Stevie (That should keep you up at night)...In return Beck got Lovers...Randall Smith should just go ahead and patent Dirt and Rocks..

time and space were just flat before Smith. Like the earth.

Thanks Nick.
The crux of the matter is the apostrophe.
So someone once said.

Um, and Al Gore invented the internet?
