[GreenKeys] AT&T Red Book Series

[Don Robert House]

At the Bell System Center for Technical Education (BSCTE) the  
instructor's favorite saying was:
"The only dumb question is the one you don't ask."

After the green books were very outdated AT&T published the red books.

There are three volumes:

Telecommunications Transmission Engineering - Volume 1 Principles ---  
First Edition 1974 / Second Edition 1977
Telecommunications Transmission Engineering - Volume 2 Facilities    
--- First Edition 1977
Telecommunications Transmission Engineering - Volume 3 Networks  ---  
First Edition 1975

These and other references are usually available at http://www.abebooks.com

To the best of my knowledge there are four editions.

1928/1929  First
1938/1941 Second
1953 Third
1961 Fourth

The 1929 and 1941 are just reprints with a small number of corrections.

You might also find the Red Books to be valuable unless your only  
interest is telegraphy.
