I was given a grubby but serviceable copy the 1933 RCA-Cunningham radio tube manual (RC-11) and was quite looking forward to browsing it. And then I looked at the back cover and saw the distinctly phallic arrangement of valve-and-trademarks surmounting the National Recovery Administration logo and motto: "We Do Our Part".
Now I'm nervous about what RCA-Cunningham might have meant by "doing their part" and what I might find between the covers - surely not a centrefold?
