# that top one could be a variable resistor.
But what do I know.

# Top page,
red loopy resistory looking one with a wire joining it from the top. Its sketchy, but it could be.

# oh ar!
it could be, but that red loopy wire is surely some kind of heating element, by the looks of the text next to the yellow zig zags they seem to be resistors, and if it was a variable resistor it would surely have an arrow onn the end of the ajoining wire?

# heater or inductor.
Or a close approximation to a circuit diagram drawn by someone more used to drawing Futurama.

# That's an inductor
(AICMFP?)

# Wel, I can't let you have five pounds.
But you can have a copy of my book for a mere £25 -£5 AICMFP discount +£5 being cleverer than me charge.

# I've no idea what you know
but as far as I can remember from my electronics degree that's just a coil, inductor or at a stretch a solenoid.

# Seconded
(Or could it be that the schematic is complete nonsense.....?????)

# A stretch solenoid?
My, my mind wimbles off on strange tangents.

# as it's from a cartoon
I doubt they went to any great lengths to make it as real as possible....


mind you....
