Thanks this is a landmark text.  thanks Al.  It was the days when
Spark was King.  1AW, T.O.M. used to write about the "newfangled CW"
in QST.

This is one of the seminal texts setting forth the way to transmit CW.
Many hams today do not understand the significance of the generation
of the high frequency continuous wave by electronic means rather than
mechanical because they don't know of a time when this was unknown.
This led to radio as we know it today, and made everything possible
that we now take for granted.  It was in my opinion, the greatest
elecronic development of the 20th Century.
