    Historical Optical Books

    A recent thread discussing eye care libraries has caused me to dig around on the hard drive for some relative material. My search has come up with a whole bunch of pdf texts of pre 1940 books that may be of great value to OptiBoarders. I found them fascinating.

    There is lots of good info on glass making, lens fabrication, optometry and ophthalmology with plenty of geometric optics. I will be happy to send a CD containing all of these texts. Just email me with a postal address.
