All that is not a clear, concise definition...

...This is closer to one: Class A operation is when the operating parameters of an amplifying device are chosen such that when provided with a 360 deg sine wave input signal, the device conducts 360 deg at all levels up to maximum design output. Characteristics of class A operation are relatively low output signal distortion compared to other classes, relatively low power output and relatively low efficiency. Blah, blah blah...

With all due respect, the definition in the ARRL manual is intended for electrical neophytes who don't know the difference betw an angular degree and a Celsius degree and think sine is a misspelling of sign.
