Inside the digital clock from a Soyuz spacecraft
While American resistors are usually labeled with colored bands, the Russian resistors are green cylinders with their values printed on themOne nice thing about Russian ICs is that the part numbers are assigned according to a rational system, unlike the essentially random numbering of American integrated circuits.This makes so much sense, it's a shame this style of labeling didn't catch on. It would have made my EE labs in college so much easier.
