Superb description Howie. Thank you. These time travel conversations with you old-timers like myself helps me to remember other happy and amazing stories from the past.
Like going to the same high school as two of the guys from Pink Floyd. They were just two years ahead of me so they were not close friends of mine and I did not learn about them until about the time I was leaving the school to move to United States. however my brother knew them well and his girlfriend/1st wife lived across the street from the drummer who passed away a few years ago. so of course he saw Dave the Rave, at the funeral. The fascinating thing for me was that the school we attended, the Cambridgeshire high school for boys had a brick wall along the rear perimeter of the grounds. The number of the boys in this high school were of the scientific mindset and many of them quite intelligent I would say. Still I’m just went completely bonkers I would say like dear Syd. Cambridge has always been a cool city where all the musicians know each other and to some extent or other they respect each other. Very few people in the states know anything much about the Cambridge music scene but it’s a lot bigger and more influential than they realize, being that it is a university town. Also, a science and agriculture city but above all a weirdly wealthy centre of higher learning! What a bloody noble task for around 800 years, let that sink in ! And I watched the blues rock hippie summer of live sweep thru - even managed yo work in ham radio, using a 22 set. Yes the rare Canadian version of wireless set 19 Mark 2, and there are various designations for these behemoth eight white a.m. transceivers which had very little range with a short and inefficient aerial on a vehicle waving around through hill and dale.
I did get the 22 set working somehow or other but I cannot remember what type of power supply it had. I just know the dog bone connectors were doggone strange and reminded my guests of link sausages.

I remember my Dad heating his soldering iron on a stove when I was a tyke. Big hunk of copper, square bar with a pointed tip. Must have weighed a pound or so. He worked on a BC348 (which I still have) with it. Not for PC work though.....

Reviewed in September and October 1953 Radio and Television News with complete descriptions plus schematics and parts lists for all three units.
The statement of 5 x 7 x3 for receiver and transmitter chassis and 5 x 7 x 2 for power supply chassis was correct.
I built all three with a non-electric soldering copper heated up in kitchen gas stove one connection at a time.
If there is someone who can post the two articles on an accessible URL, I will send both articles to him/her.
