Close but no cigar. Truth Squad time again.

The 3rd edition of Kraus` "Antennas" has the Yagi-Uda Story beginning on
page 246. It Says:
"This led to the publication of a series of articles from March 1926 to
July 1929) in the Journal of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of
Japan titled "On the Wireless Beam of Short Electric Waves." (Uda-1)."
