UP FOR SALE: Super cool mid-century electronics reference manual from International Rectifier Corporation. Original publishing date 1959, this is the 2nd printing from 1961. This handbook goes deep into engineering principles, diode theory, rectifier applications, diagrams, specs, and real world circuit use from that era of industrial electronics. Great reference for collectors of early semiconductors, vintage EE hobbyists, or display book for MCM engineering decor shelves. Condition: book shows normal age wear and handling from use. Cover has scuffing, spine wear and minor edge rubs. Interior pages are clean and readable. No loose signatures noted and binding is intact. Solid, authentic and not a modern reprint. This is a true historical engineering reference piece ? not easy to find in original early printings. Vintage and secondhand goodies usually have some character (aka flaws). I do my best to describe everything honestly, but I?m no expert. What you see is what you get. All my stuff comes from a smoke-free home and gets a good cleaning before it heads out.
