Abstract

The effects of damp tropical conditions on the materials and components used in radio apparatus are described. Difficulties encountered with radio signals equipment under the severe field service conditions of the Pacific War are outlined. Deterioration due to moisture and organic growths and means for avoiding such deterioration are dealt with, as well as laboratory methods for testing the suitability of materials for damp tropical use.
