[Milsurplus] "Electronics and Sea Power" & other good reads

[Hubert Miller]

Thanks to all who post leads to interesting mil-com related books or articles.
I will add some to my list of 'to check out'. Altho the present backlog is already too long.

FYI, in the current copy of the 'AWA Journal' Autumn 2017  there is a short article with 2 photos
from some unspecified government provenance  of a German WW1 transmitter 'captured
at Chateau – Thierry', which Fritz Trenkle's volume 1 identifies as MFuk16 field spark equipment.
I have a 1978 letter from the manufacturer and will translate this and the one paragraph
description from the Trenkle book and submit both for possible inclusion in the next AWA Journal.

I realized pretty quickly after buying the thing that it was not of much use to me, and I don't
collect WW1 equipment at all, and altho the quenched gap spark in action was pretty impressive,
I should finally after all these years arrange for some trade in Europe.

Years ago, a well-known California collector sent me a replacement cover for the transmitter's
interrupter, which mine was missing. How can someone have spare parts for spark era equipment ??
