Hi All -

I'm seeking ANY of the following articles listed below on Transformer design to build up my collection. Some articles I have sourced from the Internet already, but many are still unavailable.
Should you have anything available please email me with what your happy to help with.
I'm very interested in clear copies of the N.Partridge articles and the N.Crowhurst documents and the last one by C.R.Hanna.
My email address is below in the bottom left hand corner. - Thankyou - Kimbal >

Maybe if you make a link to versions of the articles you already know of - eg. the Partridge articles from WW 1939 - then that would save people having to check and/or inform you of articles that are presently on the web that you already know about. Also, it is worth citing all reference details (or at least year, and publication, if you know those), and perhaps order the list by date or author (surname) or title.

Also, did you want links to other audio transformer related articles not on that list - eg http://dalmura.com.au/projects/High Power Audio Transformers.pdf

Instead of the internet, have you checked with your public or university library for an interlibrary loan?

Nothing in my local library and bigger libraries are interstate or out of public assess; plus you can't borrow from them unless you in a University or some other important position.
I can source some stuff on the internet - but you have to pay for it and join up as a member. Their membership costs are exorbitant for what you get.
