Those who wish to enjoy the thrill of the chase themselves may wish to
try the link to the online version of NIST Handbook 130, available in
WordPerfect or PDF format at
http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/230/235/h130-02.htm
These are not downloadable as single documents, but in sections. It's
sufficiently tedious that if you have in mind only a product or two, you
consider taking Gene up on his generous offer.
