[sdiy] resistor sizes?

[Ken Stone]

The larger the resistor, the bigger its power handling rating. the small
ones I use are rated to disipate 1/4 Watt of heat. The larger ones will
probably be 1/2 Watt. Of course there are reistors both smaller and larger
than these ratings.

> Hi all, I have a newb question for you. I just got in the mail a wonderful
board from Ken Stone. Very excited about making it. Anyway, When looking
through resistors that I have lying around I found that some are larger, and
others are smaller. Tey may be the same value, but just bigger in size. It
looks like the smaller size is the one to use on the Gated Comparator board.
What is the difference in size?
