I've got a operating Clough-Brengle "Oscillograph", but it sure appears to
be pre-1934 vintage.

Want photos?

Since we were sent home from work because of the
blizzard and have been snowed in all afternoon, I decided
to use the time to work on a web page I'd been thinking
about.
It's going to be all about Clough-Brengle equipment,
both test gear and transmitters.
It's far from being finished, but there's enough there
to be looked at. Check it out here,

There's more coming soon.

The only problem is that to get scans that look
like anything, they're really BIG file.
And the scanned photos from the C-B catalogs
are really grainy.

Does your scanning software have an option to do antialiasing on
scans of BenDay pictures (pictures printed as zillions of teeny
dots)? If yes, that can drastically improve the quality of the
scanned image.

Very nice Ron. Makes me glad you had a blizzard. Not because
misery loves company, but because we share a similar interest
in Clough Brengle equipment. If you would like some pictures
of one of their scopes, I would be very happy to photograph mine
and send them to you via e-mail.

That's a very handy feature of scanning software, and my HP includes it.
An alternative is to scan at very high resolution (600 DPI), then use a photo
editor with a Sharpen/Blur command to blur the way-oversize scan image just
enough to merge the half-tone dots. Then resize it down to something
reasonable.

If when you downsize it, you see aliasing bands, it means you didn't blur it
enough -- go back to the big image and blur it some more, resize again, etc.

But I agree that, given a real live example of a piece of gear, better to grab
the digi-cam and shoot the gear -- color, interiors, etc. 73, Mike K.
