A comprehensive reference work of radio electrical engineering, widely considered the ‘bible’ of vacuum tube and valve design.  The work – often referred to simply as RDH – evolved from a small 40pp booklet in the 1930s to a massive masterwork, selling hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide.  This, the fourth edition, is considered the definitive edition, featuring contributions from several authors and a range of collaborating engineers.
