This site is the best site for millitary radio manuals, they have nearly all the Larkspur manuals, but they still dont have the C13 EMER manual, its here ! below! when I have time I will format it to their requirements and submit it but for now its here below.
military radio schematics and
EMER manual
schematics and manual rescanned and digitally edited for clarity (ha!)
C45 C42 wireless sender
military radio schematics and manual rescanned and digitally edited for clarity
The Saturn V Rocket Flight Manual...the real actual thing..awesome no ifs, no buts!
Bryant and May Safety Match box labels from the sixties. Who remembers ?
remember match box lables ? Here are matchbox labels I collected in the early sixties!
Godzilla-the-Gecko, our finger tame reptile. The picture links open my page on gecko care
The A618 navy radio
RECIEVE OUTFIT ACAS RAN PATTERN 16303
images and my reverse engineering notes and schematics
The Ray 'O Death, a high gain, reproducible antenna for 803.11b wireless networking
the wireless sender set C13 from the Larkspur Series of millitary radio sets
this is a collection of favoured links of mine that maybe of interest to other radio hams
| The
Great Chelsea-Heights Refractor,
A triumph of random optical and cardboard engineering | The
Wireless Set R5223 An Australian made poor man's Larkspur. |

| An actual working telescope made from random optics | write up, schematics and now the complete manual |
for the discerning
astronomer with no budget
| at least the fully sealed die
cast enclosure was Larkspur grade! |
| The Porkman portable music player | A cheap and effective PCI ATA IDE raid card for Linux users that require extra IDE channels | The AM broadcast band crystal set |
| for the hard of hearing and the wallet-content challenged | Available at assorted Melbourne swap meets and PC shonky shops | revisited |
 |  |  |
| now why would anybody really want to do this ? | "Penguin Approved" | why does the world need yet another crystal set design ? |

| Static Ram Chip testing machine using The Zero Bit Computer microsequencer |
A Dynamic Ram testing machine based on principles from the The Zero Bit Computer microsequencer |
The Zero Bit Computer a novel microsquencer design that
demonstrates a direct mapping from natural language to wired hardware |
A rant by me bemoaning the sad way that TTL overcame the inherently
superior ECL (emitter coupled logic) in the computer component industry ECL is simply better |
 |  |  |  |
| StaticRam Testing Machine | dynamic-ram-testing-machine | article is still being written | Why did the computer industry not converge on superior ECL technology ? |
