It's clear that this document reflects a much different attitude about licensing, both from FCC and the amateur community. The licensee was expected to go find out things, and this worked because it was also the licensee's expectation of him- or herself. I suspect that this genie is out of the bottle--forever.

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...
