The book assumes that the reader has had not experience in radio work. For that reason it starts out with a brief description of the forty-four symbols commonly used in radio circuit diagrams; the layman who master this A B C of the radio language will have little difficulty reading the "hook-up" diagrams that constitute such an important basic feature of this volume. The seven receivers which have been selected range from the best of the small crystal sets to one of the most highly sensitive and efficient vacuum-tube sets that science has yet devised-- the remarkable improved four-circuit tuner and the regenerative super-heterodyne. The receiving radius of these sets range from fifteen miles to nearly halfway around the world. Includes diagrams and detailed instructions 100 pages. 8 1/2 x 11.
