About these files
NEETS was produced by the U.S. Navy to train its electronics technicians. As a work of the United States Government it carries no copyright and is free to copy and share. These are the standard PDF modules, mirrored here so the whole set stays in one place and stays up. Nothing here has been altered.
Some passages reflect the equipment and practice of the era they were written in. Treated as a grounding in the physics and the fundamentals, which do not change, the series still teaches the subject as clearly as anything since.
