all sorts of diagrams, equations, list of interchangeable 
tubes, color codes, various nomographs for reactance,
and a lot of other things.

         other than slight yellowing of the pages -  $15
Second edition - April 1958 - condition is close to
          new, but does have name in ink on it - $12

Diagrams covering most 1938 to 1947 receivers."
