ATTENTION!: THIS IS A CD, NOT A PHYSICAL/PAPER BOOK!!! Vacuum Tube Amplifiers by George E. Valley and Henry Wallman 1948 PDF on CD CD Contents: Vacuum Tube Amplifiers by George E. Valley and Henry Wallman (1948): 761 pages Format: PDF IN ZIP, Language: English "The tremendous research and development effort that went into the development of radar and related techniques during World War II resulted not only in hundreds of radar sets for military (and some for possible peacetime) use but also in a great body of information and new techniques in the electronics and high-frequency fields. Because this basic material may be of great value to science and engineering, it seemed most important to publish it as soon as security permitted." Table of contents of the book on the CD: Chap. 1.
