[Boatanchors] [BoatAnchors] ***JUNK MAIL*** BC-9 Project: ACCURATE Data on Western Electric VT-1?

[john]

Dave,

I have a Western Electric databook (about 2.5" thick, 8.5x11), last 
revised in 1941. It does not have an entry for the 203, and while this 
has tubes back into the 20's , so far I've not located a sheet for the 
203. I do have the data for a 205. Close, but...

Interestingly (or not) there's a sticker inside the cover indicating 
that "this catalog is the property of the Western Electric Company and 
is held subject to this Company's order at all times. Data sheets 
forming a part of this catalog ust not be removed except on Compnany's 
instructions. S/N 441"

As you might expect, it's a beautifully produced volume. The next time 
you need info on water cooled half wave rectifiers (WE233b) you know 
where to go. There's everything from those kinds of tubes to the UHF 
acorn jobs.
