The really sad thing about the RS kits is they failed to explain to the
novice user how the components acted together to make the circuit
function. Instructions to insert the + lead of C4 into hole 4-12 did
nothing to educate the user about electronics. Once the novelty and
interest in the buzzer and LEDs flashing waned, the user departed, non
the wiser and no more knowledgeable about electronics than when they
started.

My Dad bought me a Heathkit set back in the late 50`s - Electronic
Workshop I think it was called. It had three germanium transistors a
diode and a photcell. I remember the manual was very explanetary, with
the devices operation being described by a transistor shaped cartoon
character.
