Hi Guys this is a real longshot, I'm looking for an
article that was
in a Practical Wireless Mag about mid/early 1950's It was
on a two
valve transmitter, it was unusual as the chassis and front
panel were
made of hardboard!! I owe a lot to that article and would
like to
build it, I kept that PW for years but it finally got lost
in one of
my many moves, I would really appreciate a scan of it if
it could be
found, cheers from Ron g3yuh...

I don't know the library setup in the UK but here I
would look for the magazine in a library's periodical
holdings. If you can find the issue you can get a Xerox of
the article you want. If you can't find that particular
periodical I am pretty sure you can find similar elementary
transmittes described in other magazines or books aimed at
amateurs or experimenters.

But libraries tend to be more about books that are used, than
an archive. Even if they carried the magazine way back then,
chances are good they are long gone. They need the space for
more recent things.

A radio club is more likely to keep that sort of thing. Maybe
even specifically the RSGB.
