I must admit, by all appearances I've fallen for a false etymology.. at least so far as having origins in WWII slang. Depending on how you view it, the origin of 'jerry-rigged' is either much older +or+ slightly newer.. Here's an interesting and somewhat detailed discussion: https://english.stacke

As far as I know, the relevant ('temporary/improvised') concept is generally accepted to be (or at least originally to have been) "jury-rigged." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/jury-rigged http://archives.cjr.org/language_corner/the_jury_is_in.php Nothing to do with WWII, though pe

Arrgh! /Jerry rig/, not Jury rig! Jury rigging is something entirely different.. The former comes from WWII era slang, when German soldiers were called 'Jerries' (among other things); see Jerrycan for instance. As has often been the case, as the war drew to a close and the supply chains broke down

Hi folks, I think I’ve mentioned this PSU before but the question I have might be applicable to other cheap switchers. This lump for the original Atari 520ST is run by an NE5561N control chip with a D45H1 switching transistor. It’s supplied by a multi-tap transformer giving 2x2 feeds of 6VAC an
