Mr Conor wrote the quoted material below:

"          How do you pronounce mho?  I took a begining class in
" electronics and we did not get to that.

The word "mho" is pronounced "Moe" as in one of the Three Stooges.  It's 
the reverser of "ohm", which is a unit of conductance.  A mho = 1/ohm  
(the inverse of an ohm).  It's only used for measuring things such as the 
conductanct of TV picture tubes, etc.
