Behind the Front Panel by David Rutland, an electronics engineer
with over 25 years of experience in the design of vacuum tube
circuits, explores the whys and wherefores of the components and
circuits of the first broadcast radios. By using simplified
descriptions and illustrations, supplemented by 25 photographs of
actual radio component parts, he provides a readable explanation of
what goes on inside the old battery radios. His story begins with
the invention of the radio tube at the turn of the last century and
concentrates on the engineering design and development through the
1920's. Design examples are taken from over 45 actual radios
manufactured in the decade that saw broadcast radio start as a
national pastime and end as a national necessity. This book is a
classic in radio history. This edition is carefully re-mastered
from the original and published by the California Historical Radio
Society.
