General Radio "The Experimenter"
The initial idea for the HP Journal came from a periodical called the General Radio Experimenter. The Experimenter started publishing in 1926, (11 years after the founding of General Radio) and was the first periodical of its type in the radio industry. The General Radio Experimenter was a revolutionary magazine, that offered students, engineers and hobbyists invaluable content and applications for electronics.
Organized by year for easier browsing, thanks to IET Labs, every General Radio Experimenter, over 500 issues, that span the 1920's through the 1970's, is available for viewing and download.
