Hello, I'd like to express my interest in Western Electric component literature.  Attached is a (small) picture of the sort of literature I mean.  This one in particular is a 1976 Linear Families catalog (so things like opamps, comparators, etc.)  I've also got 1973 issues of both Digital and Linear families.  I'm hoping to run down some more of these, especially from the early 80s.  Additionally, other catalogs, such as relays, transistors, etc. I'm interested in pretty much anything documenting WECo germanium/silicon solid state circuitry elements, the closer to early 80s the better.

I'm also totally fine with bankrolling scans of such literature, I don't necessarily need physical copies in my library (although it's nice flipping pages rather than scrolling a file when I'm at my workbench...)
