  Morecroft is the one good book,I have enjoyed for years.The Radio
Communications book from RCA is also a winner.The old stuff was created by
guys that understood Radio/Tesla Coils extremely well.Fred Terman's books
from Stanford University of the 1930's is also excellent.These guys were
simply amazing in the way they seemed to clarify the relatively mysterious
world of early electronics.Keep up the research...it is never ending.
