[Amps] Re Terminology Question------Thanks to all

WOW!!!!!

Not only did I have no idea that the term B+ originated in battery radios,  
but I am surprised that so many other people did.  A radio of that type must 
have been extremely expensive back when they were being produced. 

I got my general class license in 1963 when I was 14, but don't ever remember 
coming across the explanation.  I also can't remember ever seeing a radio 
like that with battery supplies.  Maybe I was just not curious enough to ask 
someone older where that came from.

Thanks to all who replied to my question.
