EE magazine is no longer under copyright, that's how Lindsay Books was able
to publish a small collection of articles from them including other  books
like "Electricity at high pressures and frequency" "High Frequency
apparatus." EE articles have been published in other research books as well
if I remember, more obscure ones, but yes CSN by Nolit is under copyright, I
have a hardbound copy of it.
