Here are the scans as attachments I did not find the attachment icon in (you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list.) but I hope this will work

No problems reading the scans at this end either.

[grindstone]

umkay, first look trying to grok and unclear at terminus.

Fig6A.

voight-ey expanding closed section one,
contracting section two to driver with ??? constriction,
back to voight-ey expanding section three,
then big step-expansion down to base where

???

happens.

a "port" sorta half the base open into a shelf-port formed by the two 1" high base rails (and exhausting to floor/wall boundary)? two little mass loads?

trying to wrap my head around what the front driver excites. Say the box bottom is sealed for this imaginary scenario. If the thing is pushed tight to a corner, it's almost an external horn with offset driver. Now, if the backwave radiation is coupled to it, too, well, my head hurts.

really grateful for the scans, btw, thanks! (the GA4 hifi amp has rotatable transformers for minimizing hum--sweet

Hi,

I must be missing something, all I can seem to access is the thumbnails.

rgds, sreten.

Edit : I was missing something, you need to expand them before saving them .....

Driver faces a corner

Hi,

Having had a good look at the drawings, I can say they have been simplified
somewhat compared to the one I had, no doubt for ease of construction.
I recall the internal partition being more complicated, giving an overall
larger taper/expansion rate, this being built mainly in the angled section.
I did lug it around somewhat, no way was it all 3/8" ply (see previous).

Hi-Fi News and Record Review published a reworked version, using
a Richard Allen twincone I recall, perhaps someone can scan that ?
Not sure about the driver, not the CG8T I recall, was a low Qts version.

rgds, sreten.

A minor detail, think the back 1" should be 2 x feet, not a continuous strip.

[DrBoar]

I have a decca postscript were they state that readers have showed interest in using 12" drivers and that even if HFN thought that the 8" was better they would later publish a 12" version.
The end of the pipe is a mess were the effective area is affected by the feet sinking into the carpet if any...

I would rather use a solid floor in the cabinet, a corner reflector towards the front and the vent opening at the lower end of the 10" by 26" piece
