Abstract
THE present text is obviously of little use to the scientifically minded, but it serves two essential purposes very well. It shows clearly the type of apparatus which the practical wireless man has to deal with, and its mode of operation, information which is of the greatest importance to researchers and developers of new types of equipment. At the same time, it forms an excellent record of the state of the art of radio communication at the moment, omitting only high-powered point-to-point working. The aim is to assist operators to got their certificates, and to acquaint them with every conceivable type of apparatus they are likely to come across, for communication, navigation, and for emergency. The circuit diagrams are particularly clear, and much information is tabulated for easy reference.
