Something interesting found in an old databook

Show all headers | View raw

I stopped by a local electronics-surplus store yesterday (Weird Stuff
Warehouse in Sunnyvale).  Out in front they had a rack full of VHS
tapes, cassettes, and other stuff with a "FREE" sign on it.  There
were a couple of boxes of databooks of various sorts as well.  I dug
through and found two I decided to take home - Motorola, and National
Semiconductor "Small Signal" transistor/diode manuals from a couple of
decades ago.  Most of the parts involved are now unobtanium as
new-stock in through-hole packaging, of course, but there are still
enough SMT versions and old-stock around to make these books interesting
reading.

Looking through one, I saw something that I found rather surprising.

Am I missing something here, or is this as odd as it seems?
