I've never had an opportunity to study early
radar stuff in depth.
You should get some manuals - they are mostly around, some are
downright cheap. The origins of computing, ENIAC, EDSAC and all, were
built on a huge foundation made by the both the radar people and the
punch card people. This is similar to the origins of networking
history, with its foundation made by The Phone Company.
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.
