I noticed that Catalog H has only a small portion of page 23 visible in the scan.

Thanks for pointing this out. We're going to see if we can find somebody who has the original paper document and can scan that page so we can replace it in the PDF.

Thanks. I'm not sure how to use this talk feature, should I be adding a topic for each subject or question, as in a threaded discussion?

How do you folks create the General Radio "Experimenter" excerpt that you add a link to for types that have an Experimenter article? Just manually edit the main Experimenter yearly PDF file to pull out the pages into a new file, or is there some MediaWiki magic for doing the excerpt? What's the file name convention, just using the year and month of the Experimenter isn't enough, as there are sometimes multiple product descriptions in one journal issue.

No MediaWiki magic, just extract the pages of interest from the main Experimenter file into a pdf. I don't think there is a naming convention, but I use

GR Exp "Type Number" "Month_Year".pdf

Sometimes I will edit the first or last page for clarity.

BTW your pictures are excellent, but you may want to use a neutral background when shooting.

Jerry. --- Jerry, yes, I know the photo background wasn't the best. I plan to get some neutral gray mattboard for a background in the future, but for the moment, I went with the photos that I had already taken.

Thanks, I'll make the excerpt from the 1948 Experimenter bound journal scan on GRwiki. ---
