Second thoughts on radio theory

About this book.,.,
" Cathode Ray " will need no introduction to regular readers of Wireless World ; for over twenty years he has been expounding and explaining radio theory in the pages of that journal in his own inimitable way. This book contains a selection of over forty of his articles; and to such readers no more need be said— their main complaint has been that this book ought to have appeared long ago ! For others, however, it should perhaps be explained that " Cathode Ray" is the radio instructor par excellence, the writer who can make even radio mathematics intelligible and interesting to the uninitiated, and with a light touch can clarify the most abstruse ideas. These articles, each complete in itself, throw new light on many subjects in the field of radio.

Why " second thoughts? " The topics are mostly elementary, dealing with basic electrical ideas and with straightforward circuit elements, techniques and calculations. But too often it is just these things that are taken for granted or glossed over in hurrying on to " something practical ". Here are second thoughts on matters as familiar as voltage, Ohm's law, the speed of current, screening and smoothing—and how much more we find there is to them than we ever suspected before !
Here, in fact, are several books in one: an entertaining and helpful textbook for the beginner; a first-class refresher course for the professional whose student days are growing rather distant; and a mine of useful reference information for everyone interested in radio and its allied subjects.
