We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

FOREWORD The task which currently confronts any compiler of radio records is one of selection rather than accumulation. It has been barely two years since radio's store of records consisted of a few government figures, some scattered special reports, a thin file of legal documents, and forgotten scripts and ledgers. But in those two years a continued expansion of the industry economically has brought on an era of changed thought and changed methods. A byproduct of this new era is the swelling of the former trickle of documents into a veritable flood. It is hoped that this volume represents a useful selection and re-working of such materials as may have day-to-day value for the industry. It is like^wise hoped that the special research, largely made possible by the cooperation of the industry itself, will similarly fulfill its objective.
