Talk:MIT Radiation Laboratory

Name of article

This title seems too wordy for me. How about MIT RadLab (if it is in fact most commonly known as that). --mav

Agreed that title Radiation Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is too wordy. Also, I do not think that long name is either the official name or the most common name. I have moved the page to Radiation Lab; the capitalization already distinguishes it from being just any "radiation lab". —Lowellian (talk) 11:23, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

"Rad Lab" and "Radiation Laboratory", without the context of MIT, usually mean the one at Berkeley, Berkeley Radiation Laboratory. The name definitely needs to be changed.--ragesoss 23:10, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Incorporates material about the Berkeley Rad Lab?

The last three paragraphs under "Formation" seem to refer to the Berkeley Rad Lab, not the MIT one. They describe how nine of the group working under Lawrence received Nobel prizes. It looks like someone cut and pasted info on the wrong Rad Lab into the article. Delmlsfan (talk) 03:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

No mention of the British Telecommunications Research Establishment

There's an article about it here in Wikipedia. The text of several volumes of the Series, as I recall, mentions cooperation between the MIT Rad Lab and the TRE. They apparently worked together; it would be nice to include a note about this.

I discovered the Series in high school, and its inspiration became my lifelong profession -- electronics. Regards, 173.48.76.50 (talk) 07:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Availability of the Series

The Series is probably part of MIT's online OpenCourseware, and available as PDF download, free of encumbrances. However, so far, I haven't found it at MIT in OpenCourseware, but it can be found at UCSD at <http://cer.ucsd.edu/~james/notes/MIT%20OpenCourseWare/MIT%20Radiation%20Lab/> (A wideband connection is a blessing, here! Figure roughly 30 MB per volume.)

It has been reprinted by Dover {Publications?] in paperback; at least some volumes are probably still available. Regards, Nikevich (talk) 08:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
