The secondary terminal marked G of the transformer is connected to the grid of the first amplifying tube. The other secondary terminal marked F- is connected to the negative three-volt terminal of the "C" battery, so as to operate the tube on the steepest part of its characteristic curve as well as to conserve "B" battery. Note: The correct value of bias voltage for a particular tube is usually furnished by the manufacturer.
--George E. Sterling, The Radio Manual, second ed., 1929A perfectly delightful book, by the way, chock-full of photos and drawings, with chapters for every phase of the radio art as it was known at the time.

Here ya go. Funny and ridiculous at the same time, like watching O’Reilly I guess.
What the hey, I only have 5 readers per day (and 3 of those are non-English speaking persons looking for who-knows-what) but I'll give it a shot.
I seem to remember that book; I think I studied it back in the early sixties when I was first messing with electronics, and we had to use tubes to build stuff.
