Reich H.J. Functional Circuits and Oscillators

New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1961. — 466 p. — (Electronics and communications series).The text is dedicated to the evaluation and design of circuital blocks used in industrial electronics as known during 1950-1960 period. Very detailed on the subject, the text may be useful even today in some work on old "vintage" industrial electronics but mainly for historical documentation on practical and theorical "engineering thinking" at the time when the book was issued in print.Circuits for the Addition of Voltages.
