Abstract
THOSE who have come into contact with the author would expect the fresh and ‘breezy' treatment given to the practice of radio here presented. In attempting to bring the novice up to the standard of the expert (not defined), the author dashes through all the subtleties of the academic teacher, collects an immense amount of information from his colleagues in the British Broadcasting Corporation, fills in many gaps, contributes much original thought, bends charts and methods to his will, and leaves one rather breathless at the prospect of what one is supposed to know, in addition to a flair for designing and costing, in order to be a modern radio engineer. Even so, we are warned that all this is only an approach if one desires to attain to the higher flights of radar and television.
