What kind of library do they build into care homes, to keep residents
mentally stimulated?

How about Mens shed charities?

I wonder if bletchly park would be interested.

I wonder if they are digitized somewhere, as we threw out a similar collection 15 years ago because we needed the space as a server room.

I think the American worldradiohistory site has quite a large UK
collection, dunno if those issues are covered.

https://worldradiohistory.com/#UK

A search engine on the articles OCR'd would be great ...

The RSGB archive, when at Bletchley Park, ended up in a skip !

I had WW - EWW - EW from about 1973 to 1993 IIRC. Not bound, but in
good nick. I tried eBay and a couple of clubs, but they nearly all
ended up in recycling.

A bloke off eBay just wanted one to fill a gap, so I sent it to him FOC
on condition he put a couple of quid in a charity box.

I kept the four with my published circuit ideas out of vanity, and so I
could boast about it here.

Could you stick copies of them on the wiki, for those curious and some
extra bragging rights?

No, they include my real name!

It was a long time ago, but two were fairly novel ways of solving
problems relating to FM tape recorders, one was a simple video combiner
and the last was just trying it on but it was actually useful...

We were designing a system where we wanted as much data throughput as we
could get at IIRC 9600 baud RS232.Â* It was fairly random data between a
real time controller and a logging PC.Â* The PC guy wasn't really up to
'fast' stuff so I made a speed meter.Â* RS232 is bipolar and flat-out a
random byte sequence should average 0V.Â* -ve voltages show under
utilisation, and +ve show likely problems, so I got a centre zero meter
and a suitable resistor and Bob was his uncle - an easy way of checking
throughput.

So that's it, resistor + meter - cash reward.Â* They were desperate for
content.

The first one appeared a couple of years later in EDN under another
name.Â* Someone had copied it and sent it to them - wish I'd thought of
that.


IIRC the spec for RS232 was +/-3 to +/-15v. How many implementations
obeyed that? Not to mention that random data in two stop bits mode
would not average zero volts !

I've got many shelf-yards of repair manuals and component databooks to
find another home.
British Library does not carry such.
A military radio museum in Notts is not interested.
When things open up a bit more I may try
Mr.Erb. at radiomuseum.org Germany
And try the tech library facility at the Wiltshire Wroughton part of the
Science Museum.
When such radio rallies start up again, listing on
https://rsgb.org/main/clubs/events/
find a large one near you and get a pitch in a car-boot sale section,
you might find a taker.

One thing I did with a few of the older ones (valves) and a few old
books (eg 'Inside the IBM PC' by Peter Norton), was to slip them into
bookshelves at a couple of customer's places where everyone is much
younger.

No-one's mentioned it.

This was for a specific piece of kit and was adjusted accordingly. If
we'd used two stop bits, the crayon mark on the scale would have been
moved to take account of this.
