NRI 1927-1930 Home-Study Courses

This CD contains more than twice the data on the 1929-1930 NRI CD.  It includes all of that CD, plus another complete course, plus other interesting and useful data.  Read on!

In the first decade of the last century, the National Radio Institute, located in Washington, D.C., began selling a home-study course called the Complete Course in Practical Radio. People all over the country learned about the new exciting field of radio in their own homes.  Now you can too. 

This is what I believe is the earliest radio home study course.  With this CD you can use the same instructions technicians used in their time to learn radio theory.  See how radios were constructed in the early days when wireless was still in its infancy.  Give yourself a solid background in radio starting from the ground up.  This CD contains scans of the books from the years 1927 to 1930 which includes two complete home study courses. 

There's more.... 

Not only are there lessons in radio, there are also lessons about applications of wireless technology in other fields such as television, aircraft, beacons, prospecting, etc.   Please scroll down and view the incredible amount of information you'll be getting.
