The Government-Funded Technology Series

One technology area a book, from nothing filed to a complete application in

This page holds every book in the series: the list of the books down the left, and the back of whichever one you pick on the right.

Every book is information and not advice, every figure in it carries the year it came from and the address of the page it was read on, and where a number could not be sourced the book says so instead of estimating one.

How to use this page — step by step

Finding a book

Pick a book from the list on the left, and the back of that book opens on the right.
The list stays on the screen while you read, so you can move from one book to the next without scrolling back up.
Each book has an address of its own, so the page you are looking at can be shared or saved and it will open on the same book.

Reading what is on the right

The box with the blue edge is the short version: which instrument the book is about and what it found out.
Under it is the back of the book, which is the longer description a person would read before deciding to open it.
Under that is the real length of the book, counted from the book that was actually built, so it cannot claim a size it does not have.

Reading the book itself

Use the first button to open the shelf, where every book in the series can be read.
Use the second button to have the book read out loud in the Reader's own voices.
Two books on the shelf are free the moment you sign up, and each $9.99 payment after that unlocks two more books of your choice.
