[ARC5] Heater wiring - 12V vs. 24v

[Michael]

The title is "A Guide to Aircraft Radio Corporation Receivers" and is
currently being sold by Fair Radio plus is available free on the web under
several titles and to varying degrees of completeness.  And, if you act now,
you can get it on CD with any number of other free books and manuals, many
from BAMA, on the bay place.  :-)  

Best regards,
