I can't read it either. Says something about copyright laws.

Good to know he approves of my John Barber.

Both Lummus articles are available as a pdf download here.

My McAfee site advisor sure did not like that page, warning of 9 instances of adware, spyware, or similar. Be cautious.

Thanks for the link. The resolution on that download is not as good as the original for the pictures but you can still read the article. It did have a popup come up on my pc and I have popup blocker on???

Thank you for specifying which article this was! I can't open the article either and it's been eating me since I saw this link. Now that I know it's the Lummus article I can rest - I already have that stored on my computer

Does anyone have a better version of this article? It's more than good enough to be able to read it, but the pictures are rather dark. I have been looking for a high quality scan of this article for almost a year now..

I mean the .pdf file.. I can't see the google books pages either

Maybe someone could do a screen capture and post it here?

Are you able to view via a proxy such as ninjaproxy.com (put address on field) or megaproxy.com ("select try it for free")?

That actually works.. Nice trick. Though there is no zoom option as there usually is on google books. I'll keep those addresses in mind for other articles on google books I can't access.
