1960 Military requires semiconductors to be good for 125 degrees C.

Engineer writing acceptance test is sure that the lab has only
Fahrenheit thermometers so changes 125 C to 257 degrees F. Acceptance
lab has only Centigrade thermometers. Tech heats semiconductors to
257 C. All semiconductors no longer work.
