“The recent introduction of pre-assembled transistor units on the home constructor market has prompted me to devote this issue of the transistor circuits manual to their application in several different projects. The units are made by Gorier in Germany and …

“About a dozen different types of component are used in the circuits contained in this book and in other transistor circuits. Each type of component has its own symbol and the meaning of these svmbols must be understood before a …

“A transistor has to be supplied with the correct power if it is to operate efficiently and provide maximum gain with minimum distortion. Since the parameters of a transistor vary with temperature and tune the power supply must normally be …

“30 Completely Different Receivers by Clive Sinclar. This book is the second in a new series, devoted entirely to the use of transistors. In the near future we will be publishing further books in this series dealing with audio amplifiers …

“Of all the many types of receivers that have been designed the super net, invented by Arm- strong in 1918, is almost the only type in common commercial use today. This applies as much to transistors as it does to …

“In Book I of ” practical Transistor Audio Amplifiers ” .I dealt with the basic principles lnvolved rn transistor A.F. amplifier desien ind the practical examples given w&e maintv limiteO to slngle stages. In this second book the-situation rs reversed …

“The rapidity with which new components have appeared on the home constructor-market in recent months has been pleasantly surprising. It seems that,manufacturers are beginning to take new interest in this outlet for their products. In the field of transistors …

“The transistor circuits manual series has proved so popular that in this, the fifth in the series, the page size has been doubled. This makes it possible to give larger and clearer circuit diagrams than before and it also means …

“The increasing complexity of electronic equipment has forced manufacturers to concentrate on reducing the size of their components without any reduction in performance. Miniaturization has been achieved not only by using smaller versions of standard components but also by the …

“I like making simple component-level radios. This Fall, I rekindled my love for making transistor radios and hope to slowly blog some circuits and fun. I’m warning you now — these circuits hearken the 1970s and 80s, SSD, EMRFD, old …
