British Radar Manuals

[BusyBee]

On my travels around the web yesterday I found this collection which seems fairly extensive on the Internet Archive site. I know they have all manner of things but I think it is concentrated enough for seperate mention. I glanced around here but did not see a reference to it. The collection: Radar Manuals

Maybe this should be in websites, or even technical data? In which case moderators please move.

Interesting. The 151 pdfs are available as a single zip. May take hours as the host is slow.

Thanks for the link.
I was trained on H2S radar whilst doing National Service
in the RAF in the mid 50's.
Your link brings back many memories.

I'm glad I'm not on per minute dialup, or per second 2002 GSM modem, or PAYG Mobile data.

Remaining 3 hours - 1.25 GB of 2.86 GB (149 kB/s)

[About 1/400th or less of my available download speed or about 1/10th my previous microwave link]

Zip unpacks to 159 items and 3.1 Gbyte. So I deleted the zip after unpacking.

Looks like some copyright books as well as the old stuff. Some 21st C. material in it is public domain.

It was last night when I eventually got to look at everything as I had the same with the download speed. It enabled me to test the 'pause' option on download on my computer and turn off overnight mid stream then restart when I got up. I initially checked by downloading one or two files intially. There is the option to list all the seperate files and download individually so I checked with one or two. For anyone who does not need the lot it is a useful option.

Now I can see that some do go wider than what I may initially expect. I was only mooching around for valve pulse / shaping circuits when I found it, thinking that radar was a good field to try.

Hi Tracy. have a look at the RAD Lab series of post WW2 books. Lots of stuff in there specifically on pulse circuits

Thanks Ed.

I managed to locate the books and have had a look at the relevant volumes. There is a lot of information which seems very useful.
