I asked something similar last week, but I think it got lost when the 
list was out...

My question was : Is there anything of use in the MIT Radiation Lab 
series of books? I've not checked the few volumes I have yet, but I do 
recall a book on time measurments that might have some useful circuits in it.

I am very suprised that nobdy has scanned or reprinted this set of books 
yet. From what I understant, they became public domain 10 years after 
publication, and that, of course has long since happened.
