Is there anyone or instution that would like to provide a good home for some old radio books, maybe 1.5 metres of shelf?
Admirality Handbook of Wirless Telegraphy 2 volumes 1938 Radiotron Designers Handbook F. H. Langford-Smith 1954
and others.

There are some photos in the 1938 Admiralty books of transmitting valves of the period, with silica envelopes. If they failed internally, they used a gas torch to burn out a panel in the envelope, went in and fixed the problem then refused the hole and pumped the thing out with a diffusion pump. Silica has such a low coefficient of thermal expansion that that's possible.
Hi,
did you consider photographing or scanning them and uploading the archive with those books to some bittorrent site?
Mind you that it might be not completely according to the laws in your country (to state it mildly).
Cheers, 'Joe'
Do you have time to feed all those pages without breaking the binding?
20,000 or more pages?? :-?
I don't think anyone is going to enforce copyright laws for such out-dated text. And it really is only text, it ain't nuclear secrets.
Have you considered offering them to museums?
