> Thanks to the RSGB Library, the original G2DAF article is now
> downloadable as a PDF file from my web site:

> The pages are reproduced without technical comment, as historical
> research material.

> The 10-page article from April 1961 includes theory of operation that
> was not included in the later shortened versions. There is also an
> Appendix about use of the circuit with tubes such as the 4X150A that can
> run negative screen current.
> 
> The idea is older than we might think. G2DAF was granted British Patent
> No 926091 in 1961, so the original work must have been done in the mid
> to late 1950s. Permission was granted for radio amateurs to construct
> the amplifier for individual use.
> 
> The RSGB Museum still has G2DAF's original 'test-bed' amplifier - and
> also his notes and files! When I can, I'll take a look...
