Hi, Tom and the group--

Here's one:

http://pages.cthome.net/fwc/APT-EQP.HTM

BTW, this has to be one of the most interesting sites I've stumbled 
across-- where else
will you find treatises and lists on topics ranging from bullfrog raising, 
to infant mortality in
New England, to cast-zinc statues, to World War II radio, radar, and crypto 
equipment?
Don't visit this site unless you have a couple of extra hours to spend on it!
