Wireless World magazine (UK version) from February 1965

[[email protected]]

Hi to everyone on the list,

I wonder if anyone on this list has any back issues of the UK magazine
"Wireless World"?

I am trying to get hold of a complete copy of an article (photocopy or
e-copy) which
appeared in the February 1965 edition. I will be more than happy to
cover all expenses of copying etc.

The item of interest is an article about a wobbulator designed by Ken
Johnson which uses "Turns Cancellation" in order to tune the inductor
within the oscillator.

After reading an incomplete description of the design in "Amateur
radio techniques" I have been successful in getting the design to work
but I understand the WW article had much more detail and background
information which I should like to see.

Many thanks,

Des.

You appear to be in the UK so you can just toddle down to your
local public library. The staff can get a copy via inter library loan
or a photocopy from the British Library. There is a small fee
and it can take a couple of months. Sometimes the staff
at the main library in your council district have a better
idea of the procedure so it can be easier to go there.

Alternatively, though they don't publisise it, university librarys
are generally open to the public, they typically want proof
of identity to let you in. They have to be nominally
open to the public to get new books at library prices.

The terrible ex-polytechnic that I went to had decades of
practical wireless, wireless world etc.

1965 is a bit too far back to find a pirate copy on the
internet but there is a good chance of a paper copy
appearing on ebay if you watch for a while.

Hi Bob and the group,

Many thanks for taking the time to reply and for the information.

You are quite correct, I am indeed in the UK but was quite unaware
that University librarys are open for the public, very handy to know
for future reference.

Someone kindly e-mailed me a copy of the article on Sunday evening so
I am now able to continue my research.

Thanks again and best wishes to all on the list.

Hi JeffM,

And I thought I understood the Internet Good tip, thanks, I will
bear it in mind for next time.
"You live and learn" as they say.

Best wishes,

Hi Baron and the group,

The WW have changed name several times since the article was printed.
The last time I enquired the magazine was called "Electronics and
Wireless World" but I was informed that the archive did not contain
matterial going back that far. Since then the name of the magazine has
changed yet again, not sure if its still running now.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and thanks to all who responded
both on and off list.

Someone very kindly e-mailed me a copy of the article on Sunday
evening so I will now be able to continue with my project.

Thanks again to all.

Des.

I think you're over-estimating public access to library facilities in
the UK.

You might try contacting Jan-Martin Nöding for a copy. He uses parts
of Johnsons '65 article for a web page gloss of LF tuning methods.

Hi to everyone on the list,

I have a virtually complete set from the late 1940s to 2005; but they
have never been properly sorted out, so finding any particular article
might take a long time.

I think you're over-estimating public access to library facilities in
the UK.

Not at all. You can order up anything for a nominal fee. Almost every
town has a decent public library, and even tiny hamlets have a
travelling library service that visits once a fortnight.

The Victorians viewed public education as an important public virtue
and by statute the top half dozen Copyright libraries are entitled to
a free copy of every book imprinted or publilshed in the UK.

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/official-publications/publishing-guidance/national-published-archive.htm>

The better local libraries still have pretty good collections, and can
order things up from the national collection for nominal 50p or £1
fee. If it is an extremely rare book you may have to make do with a
photocopy of requested pages or travel to the nearest library with a
copy.

And as someone else has pointed out if you go to the nearest
university library and ask the librarian nicely you can get most
things, or use their online indexing to find the nearest copy.

Dale Carnegie never got across the pond.

Andrew Carnegie the super rich US steel tycoon was born a Scot and was
a benefactor of many (~2000) UK libraries like Edinburgh which has a
bust of him for instance. He predates his distant cousin Dale by some
considerable time.

http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/features/featurefirst1136.html

And some like Manchester were funded by councils using powers granted
to them in the Museums & Libraries Act 1850.

Please do not use that kind of language anywhere I can read it. It is
clear to me that your parents were never married, and this has
disadvantaged you in some respect [probably IQ].
Thankyou,..................................................................Don
