We recently bought a collection of this journal on
eBay. On the inside of the bound volumes was a small
sticker indicating that the 1941-1965 set had been
donated by a graduate. The university discarded them
and they ended up on eBay. Much of the history of
radio and related technology is being removed this
way from libraries. WorldRadioHistory endeavors to
preserve these publications. |
