I have a copy of the first edition of that book, published by Federal Telephone and Radio Corporation. The original was published in 1943; mine is the fourth printing, from Spetember, 1944. It's a far cry from the later editions. This one measures 5.5" x 8" x 0.35", and is only 200 pages. Among the tables are "Head of Water and Approximate Discharge Rate."

Don't worry John even if you tell them, they won't believe you. The world is going digital, so analog engineers have no credibility.

Actually a large amount of the information in the Radiotron also applies to semicinductor circuits.

A quick and dirty way is to OCR the index...
Mike, You are incredibly naive, or are you just trying to be cutesy?
You couldn't begin to try to design a digital element AT THE DEVICE LEVEL. That's a chore best handled by ANALOG DESIGNERS... probably
50% of my business these days ;-)...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Jim, HUSH now. When there are only two analog designers left in the world, you'll get half the work and I'll get the other half.

Yep. ;-)

Sorry, you only get a third.

I have the 3rd Radiotron, black, 1941, by Amalgated Wireless Valve Company Pty Ltd of Sydney, Australia. It's 'only' 352 pages and has an entire chapter entitled "Hum."
What's a Pty?

I read in sci.electronics.design that Robert Baer wrote (in ) about 'The 1952 Radiotron Designers Handbook', on Sun, 28 Aug 2005:
DON'T TELL EVERYONE! How can we keep our reputation for superiority if you keep giving away all the secrets! (;)

I knew that. I was just checking to see if you knew that.

Digital devices are analog on the inside.
No, he's being sarcastic. And it was true until about 4 years ago, until the PHBs found that analogue technology is, in practice, indispensable.

CONFUSION ALERT! The Federal book became the ITT Reference...., and is not the Radiotron book
'Proprietary'; Australian for 'Limited (liability) Company'.

Dig up the book "Crystal Oscillator Circuits," by Matthys, published about
25 years ago. He breadboarded every imaginable discrete-component oscillator and measured its performance.
Mine is the 4th ed. 6th impression, 1963, 1498 pages. Formerly the property of one R.O. Gracie, 175 Marine Pde, ChristChurch. Purchased
27-9-1966 for 67/- (can John Woodgate translate that for me, its 3 yrs before my time)And I dont use it much either (esp. c.f. Terman), but it cost me $2, and is a great read.
Cheers Terry
