I think I still have "how to become a radio amateur," in braille around 
;here somewhere, in two volumes, and "the radio amateur's license manual," 
both from about 1952 or so. I think they had a receiver based on a 3A4 tube 
if I remember? :)
Quite a fascinating read, in fact I think I use to send some of that stuff 
out as code practice in the sixties.
