"Radio Alphabet" - a glossary of radio terms issued by CBS/Hastings House, USA, 1946
I came across this little booklet only recently and was rather taken in by the strange illustrations scattered amongst the text, seen in a section at the end of the book and on this striking cover. Published by Hastings House of New York the glossary was issued by the Columbia Broadcasting System Inc to explain radio terms in use - even TV described as 'Columbia's proposed live talking pictures on the screen in your living room'! Annoyingly no artist or designer is shown - the work reminds me of someone but I cannot but my finger on a name.
