Man, Monson put a lot of empty space in his art
....and Google added a lot of crap to it when it got a hold of it.

Could Bob be using an oddball font / character set?
...or is Google "improving" things again?

This trick is called a 'baker clamp' for some reason.
The diode prevents the transistor from saturating,
thereby increasing the speed at which it can turn off.

Yup.

Opera opened it, but it's true: there's nothing to see there. 8-(

Dead-tree version: It's listed in the index: clamp, Baker; page 908.
