Vacuum Tube Robot


A nice piece of foxed endpaper and some vintage electronics images from the 1955 electronic educational book Basic Electronics by Van Valkenburgh helped create this blue faced robot. 
Basic Electronics is filled with hundreds of images of vacuum tubes, capacitors, and funny pictures of electronic technicians. If you ever see a copy of this book at a thrift store, grab it. It's one of the best books I've seen for electronic graphics.
Check out my Vintage Science Set over at Flickr for images from this book.
