FA: classic Electrical Engineering texts
 

Hi all,

Hope you'll excuse this FA announcement in sci.electronics.design...I
normally avoid such things, but thought that these classic books might
be of special interest to someone here.

It's a set of three texts covering ELECTRICAL (as opposed to
electronic) engineering: Carl Edward Magnusson, "Direct Currents,"
"Alternating Currents," and "Electric Transients." These are from
1929, 1931 and 1926 respectively. More details at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll... STRK:MESE:IT
and of course I'd be happy to answer questions by email.

Cheers,
Tom

No need for such a long URL. This works fine:

I can't believe Hill topped out at $20- what a skin-flint!

Grasshopper, you fail to grasp the Tau of eBay bidding. :) One good
strategy is to bid a small amount early and a large amount at the
last moment. The small amount is in case you and another bidder
bid the same amount - in that case whoever bid first wins no matter
how small the initial bid. The large amount at the last moment
hides your interest from the observer and allows you to do a search
for similar items at the penultimate moment. If Hill is an experienced
eBay buyer you will not know his final bid until the auction closes.

I'm waiting for some of Tom's better books to appear.

Oh. Bummer. Well, I got his old RF Design magazines. :)

I can let you have an old copy of AoE. Not a bad book at all.

Hah! If you truly have a spare copy, I'll take it. I often
get requests from deserving young folks for free copies.

I'll check the inventory. I give a copy to every intern if s/he
doesn't have it already... 8 or 9 so far.
