And a lot more. I can't think of much they don't mention or cover. 
Manufacturers give little guides on how to strip wire and put on connectors, Belden has 
a lot of stuff on wire specs, Canon has white papers on lenses and optics. 
Pioneer has excellent papers on DVD recording, and there is always the Masked 
Engineer pratelling on about technical stuff. EEV has nice stuff about power 
tubes. Name of the week transmitter companies all have classes on analog and DTV 
transmitters of various modulation modes, and even a couple of folks use my 18 
yr old TV Secrets vol II to explain video and T&M,  Gary Sgrignoli has his 
terrific VSB Seminars, Tektronics had a nice book on T&M and another on Spectrum 
Analyzers, Sony had books on video recording of all formats, There's Zetl's 
book on TV Production, and likely thousands of books from SBE, TAB,  NAB, etc on 
any subject down to Avid Express and FCP.  Telco's have long established 
wiring and circuit standards. We still have RETMA color codes, Test Patterns, 
signal generators, scopes, network analyzers, data analyzers, MPEG and ASI stream 
analyzers and likely a million pages on MPEG/JPEG. APA has standards for 
writing papers. AP Editorial guide, books on audio, microphones, recording, mixing, 
studio design, archetectural standards, standard antenna patterns, OSHA 
standards, EPA standards, fire codes, National Electrical Code, EAS procedures, 
EEOC and labor standards, wage standards, and the list goes on.  What possible 
items haven't been regulated to death already?
