    These three early Electrical Juveniles are hard to find.
    Here is another FIND from one of my over 500 boxes of books, ephemera and just stuff. It took 60+ years to accumulate these treasures, and each week, I retrieve a dozen or so boxes from my storage units and post some selected items on eBay.
    John Trowbridge was a professor of Physics at Harvard University
