The Old Calculators Web Museum

Includes lots of detail about how early EM and electronic calculators worked -- for example, the algorithms they used to do intrinsic functions efficiently. Might be worth looking at for small maths libraries.

DIY Loudspeaker Projects

A very large collection of articles on DIY loudspeaker design and construction, with many different drivers and cabinet designs represented, and lots of interesting (largely audiophile-free) discussion of how to evaluate them.
