Howdy! Holger,

 HG> For what purpose? New handbooks are published every year.

I like using electronic copies of books.
My Pastor mentions Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan once in a while,
so I found out I could download a copy of it from Project Gutenberg.

The oldest book I have is one my GrandMother had, it was copyrighted
in 1864 and is still usable but I am careful when I look through its
pages.

It's a book about Physics and was written by Quackenbos.
The Title of the book starts out like this:
"A Natural Philosophy ....."

While I was trying to find when I was at a website that I looked for
that book a long time ago, when I found the Link in FF History I
went ahead and downloaded a .PDF of the book.

When I first looked through the old book I noticed a sentence about
a Molecule that said something such as:  (This Is Not A Quote)

- there must be something Smaller than a Molecule because you can pour
  a sizable amount of Sugar and Salt in a Container that is Full of
  Water before the solution starts spilling out of it.
  The Water Molecules must be allowing the Sugar and Salt to fit into
  some kind of empty spaces in a Molecule. -

Yes!, that's correct, notice that the Collins book has a space between
the words Hand and Book.

Did F. E. Handy Plagiarize Collins work when he wrote the First
"The Radio Amateur's Handbook" for the A.R.R.L. in 1926 (or 1925 as
Richard Baldwin says in the front of my 1975 RAHB)???

Go get the Wolff Hong and use it on that critter, or did that slip
under The Old Man's oversight at the A.R.R.L.?
