Everything from "How Electricity Works" to "Repair Work" and "Wiring
Industrial Apparatus" - Mr LC Greenwood's splendid 384 page book covers
the lot.

Some of it may not be completely up to date - it seems to have been
written in the 1940s. It's faded, worn, and the spine is a bit loose.

Yours free if you'd like to pick it up from near Derby, or I'd like £3
to cover the postage if you want to pay by bank transfer.

Hee hee, but in those days real conduit was used, not plastic rubbish.


I used to have a book my Father had called Foundations of Wireless. Lots of
good down to earth stuff, all valves and stuff of course.

Back when I was at school, the Physics master brought out an old text
book. Included were various projects, including how to make your own
wireless transmitter. It involved sending sparks across gaps to create
the signal.

Ah, Scroggie! :-) I have "Radio and Electronic Laboratory Handbook"
by him, an excellent book.

That was my chosen 'Fuller Memorial Maths Prize' at school in my 'O' level
year - very useful. Probably still got it somewhere

And electricians wore ties and flat caps.
