One of the things that really excited me about this book was the way it simplified and enabled creating and/or producing prototype gear. However I couldn't find a list of all the things the book allows you to create, so I made one:

TL5
Voltaic Pile (TL5), p.16
Leyden Jar (TL5), p.18
TL6
Geiger-Müller Tube (TL6), p.12
Arc Converter (TL6), p.29
Alternator (TL6), p.29
Photophone (TL6), p.30
Electric Organ (TL6), p.31
Singing Arc (TL6), p.32
TL7
Resonant Cavity Microphone (TL7), p.44
The bombe (TL7), p.48
TL8
Lab-on-a-Chip (TL8), p.13
Celldar (TL8), p.35
Non-Nuclear EMP (TL8), p.50
Active Denial System (TL8), p.50
No TL Given
Analog computers, p.13
Inductive Charging, p.19
Rectenna, p.19
Prototype Advanced LED Bulb, p.22
Brain-Computer Interface, p.41

I found this immensely useful and I'd love to see more. The TL8 inventions that had been proven but had no mass production year were especially interesting because they provide excellent opportunities for modern-day characters to live on the cutting edge of technology.
