Unusual Heath book

[Marvin]

Yes, I picked one up on ebay a little over a year ago, and it has been
fascinating reading! The one I have has two additional publications,
"Planning Your Service Business" and "Establishing the Industrial
Electronics Laboratory", both published by the Heathkit Technical Service.
The content sections go from 1A to 15A.

> The Antique Radio Club of Illinois swap meet today produced a find that
> neither I nor anyone who I showed it to had ever seen before.  It's a
> three-ring notebook titled "Heathkit Technical Application Bulletins", "a
> Heath Company Customer Service".  Inside, there's an index and comments
> referencing "original $2.00 offer".   About 50 different application notes,
> describe basic electronics experiments or measurements that can be performed
> using Heathkit test equipment made in the early 1950s.  For example, there's
> one on interpreting lissajou patterns, troubleshooting using the o'scope,
> applications for the AC VTVM, etc.  Still good reading today!
>
> An interesting sidenote: nearly all were written by Louis E. Garner, Jr.,
> copyrighted in 1952-3.   Lou Garner may be best known for introducing a
> countless number of hobbyists to the solid state devices  through his
> monthly column "Transistor Topics" in Popular Electronics magazine, but
> there's no doubt Mr. Garner knew his vacuum tubes  - and his Heathkits - as
> well!
>
> Has anyone else heard of - or own - this book?
