The "Admiralty Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy, Volume I: Magnetism and Electricity," published in 1938 by His Majesty's Stationery Office in London, is a significant historical text for those interested in telecommunications and military history. This volume, prepared at H.M. Signal School, provides comprehensive insights into the principles of magnetism and electricity as they apply to wireless telegraphy. As a first edition, this handbook supersedes previous editions, reflecting the technological advancements of its time. The book is particularly scarce, given its military origins and specific focus. Its green cloth cover shows signs of wear, especially along the spine, but remains intact, making it a valuable addition to collections focused on historical telecommunications or military manuals.
