"Cathode Ray's" Wireless World Articles?
How about gathering together all "Cathode Ray's" Wireless World Theory and Discussion Articles into one PDF like was done with L.L.J?
Does anybody know when he started writing them, and when his last one was? Chris Williams

I thought Cathode Ray was M G Scroggie?
It would be a good compilation, whoever he or she was! |

Re: "Cathode Ray's" Wireless World Articles?
He was born in 1901.
I think I've read an article by him from the 1920s, some sort of voltage multiplier IIRC. So he goes back a loooooooooooong way. Yup. 15th August 1923: a voltage raiser for a transmitter running off DC mains.

I traced “Cathode Ray” first article in WW to April 1945, I have not traced his last. I have attached two pictures.
