Preface to Fourth Edition
In an effort to keep up-to-date with the continuous flow of developments in electronics, the publishers decided to produce this new edition of the dictionary to incorporate the new terminology introduced since the third edition was published in 1996.
Because this new material is confined chiefly to the field of computing and data-processing equipment and consists largely of acronyms, the Appendix which lists abbreviations and acronyms has been completely rewritten. My son, Roger, and I record our thanks to G. W. A. Dummer, MBE, CEng, FIEE, who supplied most of the text of the new Appendix. As for the previous edition of the dictionary, Roger prepared the camera-ready copy of the new edition for the publishers.
