Does anyone think it would be useful to mark hex bits somehow to make
it easier to find the right one? In particular a way to find the PZ2
that one always wants would be very handy.

Is there any sort of standard colour coding (I've found a few sets
advertised with colour coding but I can't see any sort of consistency).

I was just thinking of marking my PZ bits with a black stripe for PZ0,
brown for PZ1, red for PZ2 and orange for PZ3. (Think resistor colour
codes, they're embedded in my brain so easy for me).


I remember the mnemonic Bye Bye Rosie On You Go Birmingham By Great
Western
(or Buy Better Resistors Or Your Grid Bias May Go West - Mauve rather
than
Violet). There's also Bad Boys Ring Our Young Girls But Vicky Goes
Without
or Bad Boys Ring Our Young Girls But Vicky Gives Willingly (anyone know
Vicky's phone number?)

The difficult part is remember which way the Black and Brown go in the
mnemonic!


A fellow student at college invented his own mnemonic which was British
Boys Ride On Your Great Big Virgin Girls With Great Stamina.


That must have been Boris.
