40th century = retro ??

Sounds like the title of a new Buck Rogers movie :smile:

[kak111]

The word "retro" derives from the Latin prefix retro, meaning "backwards" or "in past times"

40`s should it be , its "copy"writers copy error

I seem to have missed this first time round.
A nice collection of stuff that made me smile.
Thanks to the collector and originating site.

The 40's are the 190's, not the 40th century.
While all the literature is very good for learning, the world now is going a different way. The basic principles hold but the technology is veeeery different. Digital circuits, digital signal processing, computer applications, ultrawideband, and more.

I gave up my collection of X-and Ka-band reflex klystrons in ~1975. My friends maybe enjoyed them.Ever since my instruments were all solid-state and much better than those vacuum tubes I loved so much...
I still keep some RD2MD magnetrons, German Lorenz made them in 1944 for their Berlin flight radar. Curiously, as the filament is made of thoriated tungsten, I can use the tube to check my Geiger gamma detector
