Interesting. My late graduate thesis advisor, Henry M. Paynter, wrote a book for
Philbrick called 'A Palimpsest on Operational Amplifiers' which is the absolute
standard on their use. He also designed some of the Philbrick plug-in models and
included a 'gimmick' capacitor which was destroyed if you opened the case, to
prevent reverse engineering.
