The circuit is called a reflex circuit. The second web page

Reminds me of the old Radio Constructor designs
where the designer made one
transistor do both rf and af amplification.
Can't remember his name - or what he called his designs.
I'm sure he was knighted or something like that .... anybody ?
- Sir Alec Douglas Hall ? was it ?
Sounds too much like Alec Douglas Hume !
I have no idea who invented it since it was used every where, since the
humble
vacume tube ( valve) was invented. You can still buy or build them today.

Yes, thanks - but the author had a special name for it - that's what I can't
remember.

Was it "regenerative"? Or is that a different type of circuit
altogether? See, for example:

Just remembered - it was the "spontaflex" ,- it was Sir Douglas Hall and
there is a web page devoted to his circuits.
