	I have a complete set here too, and still find it very interesting and
useful reading.  I forget what year I joined, but must have been when
the Association was about 3 years old as I seem to remember buying 3
years of back issues to complete what I had. Harry is a neat guy and put
all sorts of fascinating stuff in there.  Two of the more interesting
articles were a description of a GE HV lab (in the late 20's?) and a
reprint of a paper by Tesla describing the operation of the VDG in very
clear and accurate terms.  Seems to me it was around 1937 and I've been
intending to dig it out and read it again, since it was written in what
I've come to think of as his "dreamy years".
