This guide book from Hind Pustak Bhandar, Delhi details the principles, workings and use of electronic circuits in transistor radios. It also describes problmes and defects in transistor radios and their recognition, remedy and the use of essential tools and insruments to undertake the same.

This book by Shri Hayaat is one of the earliest guide books in the fabrication and repair of electronic transistor radios. The topics covered in the book include essential of acoustics (sound), AC/DC electrical circuits and batteries, electronic circuits and transistors, vaccum tubes, speakers and amplification, broadcasting and reception. The book includes writitngs, tables, circuit diagrams and line drawings.These were used by techncians in All India Radio to the Indian Navy and in many radio and transistor training centres.

This particular copy was bought by Raju Sharma in a Railway station book stall in 1982 and was used to make a transistor radio at home.

This handwritten notebook by Raju Sharma contains line drawings, circuitry and components of early microprocessors used in the AV industry in the 1980s and 1990s. It also contains information on circuit boards that used these processors in the Audio visual Industry including components, logic diagrams, addressing faults and their rectification and software that were associated with microprocessor.

This handwritten notebook by Raju Sharma refers to personal computers and their application in Video industry. The notebook was meant to be a quick access guide containing diagrams, line drawings, tables and notes on principles, functioning and repair of Circuit board in Video, Camera and editing units, and other essential accessories. These were made during training sessrions at the Commmunication Research Lab at CENDIT.
