The drawings are by Tom Hayes; he makes similar drawings all the time in
lecture.

If you don't know a lot about electronics and want to learn more (and live
in the boston area) I highly recommmend PHYS-123 at the Harvard Extension
School. Tom Hayes teaches this class; it's two semesters, the first is 
analog and the second digital. Plenty of contruction in a well-equiped
lab, and Tom is a great instructor. The emphasis is very strongly on 
building simple stuff that WORKS.
