    HG> Hi Ed,   
   Howdy! Holger,   
      
    EV>My 1960 copy of the Handbook has exploded into sections.   
      
    EV>In 2030 the Copyright will expire and probably someone will put it on   
    EV>the internet on some site like Project Gutenberg.   
      
    HG> For what purpose? New handbooks are published every year.   
      
   I like using electronic copies of books.   
   My Pastor mentions Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan once in a while,   
   so I found out I could download a copy of it from Project Gutenberg.   
      
   The oldest book I have is one my GrandMother had, it was copyrighted   
   in 1864 and is still usable but I am careful when I look through its   
   pages.   
      
   It's a book about Physics and was written by Quackenbos.   
   The Title of the book starts out like this:   
   "A Natural Philosophy ....."   
      
   While I was trying to find when I was at a website that I looked for   
   that book a long time ago, when I found the Link in FF History I   
   went ahead and downloaded a .PDF of the book.   
      
   When I first looked through the old book I noticed a sentence about   
   a Molecule that said something such as:  (This Is Not A Quote)   
      
   - there must be something Smaller than a Molecule because you can pour   
     a sizable amount of Sugar and Salt in a Container that is Full of   
     Water before the solution starts spilling out of it.   
     The Water Molecules must be allowing the Sugar and Salt to fit into   
     some kind of empty spaces in a Molecule. -   
      
    EV>A copy of The Radio Amateur's Hand Book 1922 by A. Frederick Collins is   
    EV>at their web site.   
      
    EV>It isn't current, but it is interesting to read about how to build   
    EV>a Spark Transmitter.   
      
    HG> Are you shure that 1922 is correct. I own a 1926 edition of   
    HG> "The Radio Amateurs Handbook" "First edition" that was included   
    HG> with the purchase of the 80th anniversary of ARRL handbook.   
      
    HG> Please note: That 1926 Handbook was published by ARRL, not by   
    HG> some A. Frederick Collins.   
      
   Yes!, that's correct, notice that the Collins book has a space between   
   the words Hand and Book.   
      
   Did F. E. Handy Plagiarize Collins work when he wrote the First   
   "The Radio Amateur's Handbook" for the A.R.R.L. in 1926 (or 1925 as   
   Richard Baldwin says in the front of my 1975 RAHB)???   
      
   Go get the Wolff Hong and use it on that critter, or did that slip   
   under The Old Man's oversight at the A.R.R.L.?
