Wow! TU Tom. With the exception of a couple of technical and regulatory updates it changed very little from 1951 to 1975! ARRL came out with Tune in the World in 1976 and it was far more detailed and easier for a kid to learn plus it came with the cool Morse instructional cassette. It was a tad easier to deal with than the Ameco LP or Dad’s old Signal Corps McIlroy paper tape machine. 73 David A. Norris, K5UZ Director, Delta Division Sent from my iPhone

When you get questions from people about the current Technician "entry" level license, you might want to use the attached (partial) copy of the 1951 ARRL License Manual. It had information for both the (new) Novice license and the Technician. The portion attached is the front cover and the three pages devoted to the Novice. That was it...
Compare the 1951 Novice to the present 2 pound, 400+ question, 350+ page publication we have today for the Technician. :-)
Hope this comes through OK, the scanned pages make a pretty large file...
