International Radio Tube Encyclopedia

Hello!

   Recently on auction eBay I have bought the book "Wireless Amplifier Manual Number 2" (edited by Bernard B. Babani, Bernards Radio Manuals No. 90). On last page in it there was an advertising of the new handbook on radio tubes - International Radio Tube Encyclopaedia.

   I quote:

International Radio Tube Encyclopedia

edited by Bernard B. Babani

   This Encyclopaedia gives the operating characteristics and base connections of some 15,000 valves made throughout the world by approximately 164 manufacturers and includes all the Military Naval and Service types of many countries produced during the war.

   There are 11 Sections : Receiving tubes of all classes ; Transmitting Triodes ; Transmitting Tetrodes, Pentodes, etc. ; Current Rectifier Values ; Thyratrons ; Voltage and Current Regulators ; Tuning Indicators ; Cathode Ray Tubes (including Television Tubes and Orthicons, etc.) ; Photo Tubes and Photo Cells ; Rare Tubes and their equiva­lents ; Supplementary data.

   As practically all the world's valves are given, the technical matter and instructions for using the tables have been translated by native tech­nicians into FRENCH, GERMAN, SPANISH, ITALIAN, PORTUGUESE, DUTCH, SWEDISH, DANISH, NORWEGIAN, RUSSIAN, POLISH, CZECH, TURKISH and MODERN HEBREW, which are bound into the one volume with the English data and tables.

- Includes thousands more valves than any other similar publication.

   Having investigated the Internet by means of Google.ru, I have understood that the given encyclopedia rare. Whether mentions were only on sites of several libraries and on Radiomuseum.org.

   There is at someone this encyclopedia in house library? I would like to copy (scanning) and to read through it personally. From its part I can help with Russian handbook on tubes or other books.
