Homebrew PCBs

Bill,

I was referring to the 'spelled' version of solder, not the 'pronounced' version. Neither have I ever heard it pronounced with a
non-silent L in my working environment.

So No, it didn't change at all from the 50's to the 70's.

Regards,

Roger

Hmmm I started working in the aviation industry in 1974 and in the 20 years I worked as a electronics technician in the Air Force I
never heard anyone pronounce the L in solder, I worked with a lot of Engineers and technicians also worked on the Fastest Aircraft
in the world for many years and a lot of engineers for all over in that project and again I never heard that L in solder. So some
where from the 50's to the 70's it changed. I always though it was soder and never knew in the US ever pronounced it different.
