<b>A reward of 500 Microfarads is offered for information leading to
the arrest of Hop-A-Long Capacity. This un-rectified criminal
escaped from a western primary cell where he had been clamped in
ions awaiting the gauss chamber.
He is charged with the induction of an 18 turn coil named Milly
Henry who was found choked and robbed of valuable joules. He is
armed with a carbon rod and is a potential killer. Capacity is also
charged with driving D.C. Motor over the Wheatstone Bridge and
refusing to let the band pass.
If encountered, he may offer series of resistance. The Electromotive
Force spent the night searching for him in a magnetic field, where
he had gone to earth.
They had no success and believed he had returned ohm via a short
circuit. He was last seen riding a kilocycle with his friend Eddy
Current who was playing a harmonic.</b>
