Does anyone have an index of the articles that appeared in ARMEX.

Also how many volumes were produced.

 

Regards

Alan,

I am not aware of an index of the articles that appeared in the ARMAX volumes, but it is possible that the CFM records office may have that information.

If someone has all of them it would be real easy to put together since some volumes only have 2 articles.

What’s the good of an index unless copies are available from CFM?  Are they?

Then you would know what your missingWink

I doubt they are but it would be worth asking to have them reprinted or have them added to the digital library.

Making them available online would be optimal, but merely providing photocopies at so much per page would be a lot less trouble.

Some of the books are about 200 pages.

An index would be useful in knowing what articles are available and then any issues with an article of interest can be purchased on one of the used books web sites.

Ideally. the index would give a breif summery of the article as titles to an article such as “A Mystery Rifle”, leave the reader clueless about what the subject matter is.

I was surprised to find quite a few issues listed on possibly the largest US site, ABE Books.  An index would certainly simplify matters, but it would not be unreasonable to ask the sellers to name the individual titles within the copies they’re selling.  (A few of these sellers do list the contents.)
