What's in this Particular Set of Files????
Ten (10) historic Textbooks on Microwaves & radar - part of a series
referred to as the MIT Rad(iation) Lab Series.
Several resourceful folks worked hard to locate these volumes & post them...
If you see this set turn up, it's just to share them again with the group, & I had no hand in finding them!
:)
They're apparently VERY HARD to find: if anyone happens to have any of the other "missing" 18
volumes, turning them up will get you a hearty round of applause!
I'm attaching the complete description of the series below, so you can get an idea of wether any of these 10
books are of value to you before downloading, & assist in knowing what the missing ones are!

Reviews
“ In summary, these volumes on CDs are a valuable source of information in the field of radar and connected microwave areas, especially for those readers who are interested in basic and detailed material and who want to gain a thorough understanding. It is emphasised as a profound reference especially for those people who are working as lecturers or for the development of microwave devices of all kind. And last but not least, these volumes are an impressive monument for the comprehensive work performed in such a short period of time.”
---International Journal of Electronics and Communications, June 2000
“ These 28 books are considered the foundation of modern microwave technology and are now available on two fully searchable CD-ROMs, making them useful resources for today's practicing microwave technologists.”
---Microwave Journal, March 2000
Description
These two fully-searchable CD-ROMs contain all 28 volumes detailing the research and development of microwave radar and associated technologies that emerged from the wartime output of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Radiation Laboratory. Between 1940 and 1945, hundreds of scientists collaborated in this unique program to produce microwave technologies to bolster the Allied war effort. Now, this information is presented in an electronic edition as both a basic microwave technology resource and historic preservation.
For added convenience, Volume 28 is the index to the entire Radiation Laboratory Series. In combination with Adobe Acrobat Reader's easy-to-use search function, this volume is a very helpful resource for researching specific topics or locating historical information.
Compatible with PC and Macintosh systems
