Nolan’s Notes: A Tribute to Iola—and Automation
12/02/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesIn the 1960s and ’70s, when the west side of the Portland, Oregon, metro area was dominated by Tektronix, my grandmother worked as one of the “assembly ladies.” Known as “Tek,” the company was an economic juggernaut, driving the economy of the cities of Beaverton, Tigard, and Hillsboro. The only employer larger than Tektronix was the state of Oregon itself; virtually every Portlander had some connection to Tek.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Solderability Test Methods, Myths, and Realities
11/26/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileSolderability testing answers a simple question: How readily will a termination form a sound solder joint under defined conditions? It is not component preconditioning. Rather, it evaluates wetting—the speed and extent to which molten solder spreads and adheres to a surface—using controlled methods (e.g., visual “dip-and-look” or wetting-balance measurements). Results reflect the combined effects of termination finish, storage and handling, flux activity, and the solder alloy in use.
