[Milsurplus] Technical Books available for download

[B. Smith]

This is the mother lode of book sites.
I quickly scanned the site and discovered "Aeronautical Radio" by Mr. M.F. 
Eddy.(Any relation to Eddy Currents? :-)
Anyway on book page 231 (PDF file page 244) is a diagram of an A and N range 
antenna that was constructed  entirely of 300 foot wire loops  suspended 
between  telephone poles. This type of early aeronautical radio range 
antenna construction was before the range sites utilized  the familiar Tower 
type antennas. I've been told that when you when you were flying on a range 
constructed of this type of wire antenna you could always tell when the 
winds were stong as the signal varied due to the wires swinging in the 
breeze.  :-)
     Clete Whitaker sent me hand drawing of these "wire" antennas several 
years ago for use in my presentation at the MRCA group at Gilbert Pa.

Hi, Gang

Pete Millett has recently moved to a new hosting site, and expanded
his collection of old electronics textbooks available for download.
The new site is here:
http://www.tubebooks.org/technical_books_online.htm

One very good book is the GE Sideband Handbook,
a _Sideband_Handbook_1961.pdf
