As happens so often, an unidentified gray-headed pilot-type dropped
off a box of aviation "stuff" the other day, knowing that we collect
all things aviation-related. We usually end up displaying them
*somewhere* in our aviation-themed hotel...

This box, however, is quite different, being chock-full of techical
books and doctoral studies, with titles like:

"Engineering Aspects of Liquid Metals for Heat Transfer" (published by
the Atomic Energy Commission, 1952)

"Convection of Heat Transfer in a Vortex Flow Under Pressure"
(published by Air Force Systems Command, 1962)

"Analysis of Thermal-Protection Systems for Space-Vehicle
Cryogenic-Propellant Tanks"
(published by NASA, 1962)

And so on. There are dozens of them!

Does anyone *use* these anymore? Is there any value in them? I hate
to just throw them away -- but does anyone want/need them?


They're probably outdated, but a good rule of thumb is to never discard
anything that can be put on eBay.
