Wolfean and Other Easter Eggs

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'm producing a t-shirt design for the local IEEE student chapter, and 
was thinking about slipping in some sort of reference to "How I Lost The 
Second World War..." , perhaps showing a schematic symbol for a 
transistor that has tiny lanes of traffic instead of solid lines.

Would there be anything else apropos to electrical engineering that 
would serve as a Wolfe reference, or perhaps to another engineer-writer? 
Maybe a radio direction finder triangulation over the ocean for Schute? 
("Many thanks for position fix. Seas rough at Guilford.")
