Also there was a blank register sheet in the instruction book to enable you to write down the TRF dial settings in case you accidentally picked up a radio station on your own.

When you got your new set there was always an instruction book with it, with instructions as to how to set the individual tuner dials for the popular transmitters in the country.you could periodically pick up the distant stations at night, due to the transmission through the Kennelly-Heavyside layers. As a kid Eye can remember the old tuned-RF receivers, where you had two or three stages of individually tuned amplifiers (TRF). Super-Het revolutionized the RF receiver industry. The definition of super-heterodyne involved first converting the incoming AM signal to Intermediate Frequency (IF) amplification (through the use of a tracking Local Oscillator) before simple rectification in order to recover the amplitude modulation of the IF signal. The original definition for heterodyne was the simple rectification of amplitude-modulated RF to recover the modulation envelope. This in from OAH in New Jersey, on radios before the superhet.
Both Fessenden and Armstrong are in the Microwaves Hall of Fame! During and directly after the Great War, Major Edwin Armstrong developed the superheterodyne receiver, which would not have been possible without Fessenden's work. The benefits of a mixer in a radio receiver cannot be obtained without a stable local oscillator, something that Fessenden did not possess. Reginald Aubrey Fessenden came up with the idea of mixing signals in 1901, a phenomenon he called "heterodyning".
