While looking for something else in old magazines I ran across a
series of articles by Edmund C. Berkeley and Robert A. Jensen on the design
and construction of the Simon relay computer. (Oct 1950 to Sept 1951 Radio
Electronics) I can't find number 13 in Oct 1951, which is apparently a
description
of a different computer.
Would it be worthwhile trying to scan these and try to get someone
to post them?

Yes, please send them to Al Kossow <aek at spies.com> for scanning. I, for one,
would really like to read those Simon articles!!
Cheers,

Charlie,
I'd be interested to see them, and perhaps build a few experimental
circuits!
Jim.

Didn't someone here already scan them? I thought I remember someone sent
me a CD of the articles a year or two ago.

But paper is people readable anywhere ...
So what is a good price for relays, I was looking at my
last free surplus flyer from BG-Micro and typical relay
was $1.25.

I need to check with the surplus people like Electronics Goldmine and
see if I can get a good deal on a BUNCH of relays instead of buying them
individually.

Well looking at the cover (last email) I estimated 6 rows of 20 relays.
But now that I am thinking about even if you get the magazine scanned
it may not be complete. Well I know the last few decades they show a
few pictures and a quick chip listing and require you to send $??.95
for compleate plans. Of course the magzine or plans or totaly out of print
by now.

them re-scanned.
