Description
These two fully-searchable CD-ROMs contain all 28 volumes detailing the research and development of microwave radar and associated technologies that emerged from the wartime output of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Radiation Laboratory. Between 1940 and 1945, hundreds of scientists collaborated in this unique program to produce microwave technologies to bolster the Allied war effort. Now, this information is presented in an electronic edition as both a basic microwave technology resource and historic preservation. To search the CD Roms: In order to view and search the 28 volumes contained on these two CD-ROMs, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Adobe Acrobat Reader software is free from Adobe and is provided on the CDs, along with instructions for installation. PLEASE NOTE: This is an older 32-Bit version of Adobe Acrobat and is not compatible with newer 64-bit version operating systems. Please use a more current version of Adobe to access the CD-ROM's in that case. Once you have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can view all 28 volumes of the Radiation Laboratory Series page-by-page. Or you can easily search each volume for key words and phrases in order to find specific information you need. For added convenience, Volume 28 is the index to the entire Radiation Laboratory Series. In combination with Adobe Acrobat Reader's easy-to-use search function, this volume is a very helpful resource for researching specific topics or locating historical information. Compatible with PC and Macintosh systems.
