I have an electronic of INSTRUMENTATION IN EARTHQUAKE SEISMOLOGY,  
Preliminary Version, July, in PDF format.  It is 264 pages long, and  
the size of the file 3.6 M which means it can be emailed.  This  
appears to be the pre-publication version.  Anyone who wants a copy  
please email me at icarus@.......... and let me know - I will be happy  
to send it to you.
