I can also recommend the book. I have a copy that I got, I think,

Last night, after posting that reply, I looked along my bookshelf. There,
next to my reprint of the Radiotron Designer's Handbook was 'Analogue
Circuit Design : Art, Science and Personalities'.
That's where I read about the improvements to the Wien bridge oscillator,
and yes, it was Jim Williams' work I was describing.
Great book.
Williams presents this circuit (and many pages of very interesting
reading, as he describes the process by which he arrived at his final
result...ideas, testing, failures, successes, optimization, etc) in the
absolutely fantastic book entitled "Analog Circuit Design: Art, Science,
and Personalities". I strongly recommend that book.
Thanks. I will certainly check it out. I've never heard of said book before. from the Oxfam bookshop at the top of Park Street,
Bristol (Tony
Actually, I don't think I do. I rememebr a good 'remainders' shop about
half way down Park Street and an Oxfam bookshop over in Clifton. And many
other second-hand bookshops scattered around the city (where I spent far
too much money...)
