Forrest Mims did a bunch of interesting hand drawings like that back then but I don’t recall the specific book or image you are thinking of. I’m curious to see if you find it - it sounds up my alley too.

- Stratoscope 1y agoYou must be thinking of The Forrest Mims Engineer's Notebook or his Engineer's Mini-Notebook or Getting Started in Electronics. The Engineer's Notebook is still in print: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1878707035 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1878707035 If you download the free Kindle sample, it has some of the illustrations, but mostly just individual components. This Reddit post has a couple of pages from Getting Started: https://www.reddit.com/r/ECE/comments/ik1gw4/from_the_book_getting_started_in_electronics_by/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ECE/comments/ik1gw4/from_the_book_g...
