General Radio W10MT3 Variac Autotransformer 0-140V, 10A. Near-mint. The finest example of the breed ever made. Comes with original copy of General Radio “Handbook of Voltage Control With The Variac Autotransformer.” This little treasure is a 40-page booklet published in 1963 by General Radio Company which "designed, patented, introduced and manufactured" the Variac sometime around 1933. It is in an 8.5 x x11 format. The booklet contains 12 pages on Theory and Principles, 19 pages on circuits using Variacs and 8 pages on specific Variac applications. All the GR Variac models are discussed in detail including connection diagrams and so forth. One section shows how to use Variacs in series and parallel applications (with the use of a choke to prevent current oscillation when the 2 Variacs' brushes are not perfectly synchronized). Motor-driven Variacs are also discussed. In short, this may be all you ever wanted to know (and then some) about the mighty
 Variac. $150 for W10MT3 Variac with original GR booklet.

I have 2 reprint-quality copies of the GR booklet also available for $10.50 each PPD.
