Elements of Practical Radio Mechanics - Manual for Beginners
Elements of Practical Radio Mechanics A Shop Manual for Beginners by Samuel L. Marshall (1945, 248 pages). This is a fantastic book for the person just getting started in antique radio repair.
From the Foreword:
The purpose of this book is to present to the individual the essential manipulative skills and related theoretical information pertaining to construction, adjustment, repairs, and measurements of radio receivers and transmitters.
This knowledge is a prerequisite for employment in any of the allied fields of radio communications and electronics, such as: receivers, sound systems, commercial air, land, and sea communications, industrial electronics, television, frequency modulation, and facsimile.
Developed over a period of eight years, this material has been applied and tested during that time by thousands of students of all ages, enabling them to enter upon and find employment in the radio industry.
In developing the subject matter emphasis has been placed on the practical aspects of the trade with a view to enabling students to fit themselves quickly into jobs requiring practical knowledge. The phrase best describing this treatment would be, from the simple manipulation to the complex operation.
Public vocational and private trade schools will find the job sheets particularly adaptable for use in their courses of study. Those who are educating themselves in this field will also find the sequence of instruction most suitable for their purposes.
If, as a result of this book, those who have been engaged in wartime pursuits are enabled to switch with ease to peacetime jobs, the effort expended in its preparation will have been well worth while.
