Unfortunately, you have to pay for the archiver, but the decompression
stuff is all free.

news So far I've not been able to match the result posted by Tim.

I basically did it the way he suggested. For readability and
size, I saved as 16 color (grayscale) GIF. PNG is good too
(although my ancient image editor doesn't support it!).

A much better solution has come within my reach - someone on

book for me.

Most compression programs do RAR files nowadays.

PAR files are for parity, so a multipart news post can have a missing part
and still be recoverable. I used to use a program called QuickPAR to
reconstruct them, but it's been a long time, and I think some compression
programs handle PAR files natively now.

The whole of AoE? I own a copy, so fair use allows me to get it, but I
don't see it there. What's the subject on the posts?

The full subject line starts Re REQ: The Art of Electronics, in Xnews I
simply enter "The Art of Electronics" in the filter and it finds it
instantly, alternatively you could sort by "From" and scroll down to "B" the
sender signed as "Bongo" - it was their only post when I checked that method
(I was looking to see if they'd posted anything else interesting).

Does anyone know where I can find more info on the two transistor feedback

history of the development of the circuit.

Can anyone help?

TIA.

I'm sure you found this during your searches, but perhaps you didn't have
access to the paper itself.

There aren't any references to earlier work by anyone other than Ghausi
himself, so perhaps he is the originator of the circuit. It lacks the
final feedback from the output which AOE shows.

You don't change light bulbs either, eh?

Bwuahahahaha! You knew it was a compression format, but are too lazy to
do the simple google hunt. That's rich. And quite telling likely about
your entire life.

How much of your life did you let other perform the real tasks in?

Is there any way I can print just that one page displayed by google

Get the free Firefox browser; it won't crash:


Why did you answer a different question than the one asked?!

I didn't. Use Firefox, and you will be able to print the page.



I loaded firefox and still can't see how to print a google books page.

You can print what you see by clicking "file" in the top left of the
Firefox window and selecting print.



Neeerp! It prints that whole frame :-(

PrintScreen is the only way I know of, and it's crappy :-(

Probably talking about the preview version. D'oh!

It's not meant to be printed. Try buying the book. Sheesh!

An earlier one is this:
Chaplin, Candy, and Cole, "Transistor Stages For Wide-band
Amplifiers," Proc. Inst. Elec. Eng. (London), vol. 106, part B, suppl. 16,
pp. 762-772, May 1959.

They discuss not only the shunt-series pair, but also the series-shunt pair,
and the "compound feedback" pair (both at the same time as in AOE
fig. 13.13.)

More discussion of the compound pair at RF is in:
Meyer and Eschenbach, "A Wide-Band Ultralinear Amplifier from
3 to 300 MHz," IEEE JSSC, vol. SC-9, no. 4 (Aug. 1974),
pp. 167-175.

I'd like a copy, as well. I once worked for Jim Solomon, a student of
Ghausi and Petersen, and I was the young buck engineer grunt who did
all the equation development for Solomon's IEEE papers preceding the
announcement of the MC1552/1553. (I also did the DC bias loop :-)

Very useful in various instances especially low noise microphone amplifiers and
audio power amplifier output stages traditionally.
