1963 The Wireless World Pocket Diary By TJ & J Smith

This small pocket diary dates to 1963 and was issued by the renowned publication, 'The Wireless World,' Ilife & sons Limited, Dorset House, Tudor Street, London E.C.4 in conjunction with TJ & J Smith Ltd, the notable diarists and manufacturers.

The pocket diary has key holiday dates marked as well as sunrise and sunset times.

* Approximate Size: 10.5cm Length x 7cm width

In pretty good condition for its age, the first 2 or 3 pages within the diary have been marked by the original owner. The leather cover is slightly scuffed and stiff with age. The pages have yellowed.

A piece of social history, the diary contains a detachable piece of red paper with tear off reminders e.g.

'Tomorrow is my husband's birthday.'

(As a person of the female variety, and not to cast aspersions, but I think this should have been 'Tomorrow is my wife's birthday' as it is more unlikely that the wife would forget her husbands' birthday)... Anyway, I digress...

The diary also contains useful information for the radio/wireless operator about frequency allocations and other useful data e.g. valve base connections and transistor types.

Wireless World Magazine was a British electronics journal which began in 1911 as the Marconigraph. In April, 1913 it became Wireless World and was issued continuously under this name until 1986 when it became Electronics & Wireless World.

A nice reference book for the book collector and radiophile.
