Quote:
My components are not antiques [described in the books]. They are projects designed to teach the principles of radio/electronics. The devices you saw were constructed with my own two hands within the last few years. Marconi has not touched these instruments... except in spirit.
Giorgio de Prez an Italian BAEC member recommends the following books:
Eric Edwards a BAEC member has the following Books for Sale, which he has authored.
A FUN WAY OF LEARNING BY DOING
A New Electronics Book written by a fellow colleague.
It has chapters dealing with how to set up your own workplace, and the basic requirements. It describes the electrics of your workshop and the safety aspect.
There are chapters on the tools, equipment and components needed to get started. Soldering and the laying out of components are dealt with along with ESD and printed circuit boards (how to produce these yourself).
There is a chapter on, what I call, Applied Theory, as it explains the stuff you should know in ‘down to earth’ terms as opposed to the deep unnecessary theory usually found in textbooks. There are experiments and projects splattered throughout the pages.
Chapters on analogue and digital circuits are described with working projects. Linear, analogue to digital conversion (and back again) with chapters on memories with programming examples, and programmable peripheral circuits lead on to a chapter, to bring it bang up to date, about programming a ‘PIC’.
Radio reception, with some novel working circuits are covered with a brief introduction to television for the amateur.
The home computer is seen in a different light with some useful information.
A good reference section deals with symbols, useful formulas, tables and facts together with acronyms, abbreviations and ‘rules of thumb’.
There is a mini circuit chapter and a project chapter covering several projects to make. The book ends with faultfinding and reference to further reading, electronic mags, clubs and associations.
This, truly practical, 420 odd pages ‘BOOK’ has been produced, by me, on a CD-ROM that runs in Windows 95/98 using ADOBE Acrobat version 4 (supplied).

"The Voice of the Crystal" describes the principle behind basic A.M. radio, and then goes on to describe the principles behind capacitors, coils, detectors and headphones. These explanations are accompanied by projects built primarily from garbage can items...screws, a plumbing fitting, an old cigarette lighter, a hank of wire, a cabinet magnet, and so forth.
"Instruments of Amplification" introduces the principles of amplification, and then describes a number of experimental amplifying devices including homemade electromechanical amplifiers, several homemade vacuum tubes (valves) and even a couple of experimental homemade transistors.
