CD-ROM PDF ALL 37 ISSUES BOONTON RADIO COMPANY PUBLICATION "THE NOTEBOOK"

Description: You are bidding on a CD-ROM containing high-quality scans in PDF form of all 37 issues of the Boonton Radio Company technical periodical "The Notebook", issued from 1954 to 1965 - that is, until its acquisition by Hewlett-Packard. This also includes the index pages that list every article in every issue, organized by topic. In the post-WWII years, the booming field of electronics demanded more and more elaborate test equipment during the peak of the vacuum-tube era. A number of companies, including General Radio in Cambridge, Hewlett-Packard in California, Measurements Corporation, Ferris Industries, Boonton Electonics Company, and Boonton Radio Company, all in Boonton, New Jersey. Only 20 miles from the high-technology giant Bell Laboratories, these companies showed immense creativity and innovation in these early days of the electronics industry. Some of them made the transition to transistor electronics, others did not. To this day, the Boonton 260A Q-Meter is capable of making measurements that no other device on the market can achieve. Some companies, like Bell Laboratories, General Radio, and BRC published technical journals. The General Radio Experimenter stands today as a remarkable testament to the engineering creativity in the pre-computer era. It still amazes me that all these designs were made using only slide rules, pencils and paper. The Boonton Radio Experiments has a great deal of information about the theory and practice of measurement techniques of this era. There is quite a bit of information about the 260A that does not show up in the manuals for the device (also included on this CD-ROM). This may seem like ancient technology, but the lessons on inductance, Q-factor, and RF are timeless. There are still lessons every engineer can learn here. All PDF files have been scanned by OCR to produce a full text index. You can search for any word or phrase and find every occurrence, then jump right to the issue and word where the search was found.
