when looking up Stan White's products, it occurred to me a lot of history has or will be lost on that era besides whatever ads from audio magazines. Besides the excitement, there was a lot of beauty in cabinetry, chassis, turntable, experimentation with amplifier topology, etc. Perhaps some private collectors have published something (?)

I have a collection of High Fidelity magazines (1959 and up) that are enjoyable reading. Lots of great articles and other stuff.
I just recently stumbled across this (these):
https://store.theabsolutesound.com/
'spensive, but they certainly have (ahem) potential :-)
You do, of course, know there are tons of great web resources for information. Personal faves include:
www.tubebooks.org (Pete Millett's incredible resource)
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/ (need to dig around a bit, but really, really worth the effort)
www.hifiengine.com (free registration needed to d/l their content)
www.hifilit.com
www.radioshackcatalogs.com
www.alliedcatalogs.com
www.electrovoice.com (discontinued products archive)

one of the clunkiest interfaces I've yet seen :-P
So, on the main page, if one "mouses over" the third menu "box" (labeled "Technical and Engineering", it magically transforms into "Broadcast and Consumer" and spawns some dropdown choices including, e.g., "Audio and Sound" and "Consumer Electronics".
One-stop shopping for an expanded array of PDFs of some of the classic hifi magazines -- some of which are available elsewhere, but the collection at the titular site is larger than any other of which I know.
Spend a cold, snowy, rainy (whatever) day digging through 'em! :-)
For example: the link below will return two fun PDFs; check the 'catalog' embedded in the middle of the Nov. 1974 issue of DC's "Forecast FM" magazine (which I remember my parents' getting occasionally when I was... fairly young).

The idea of the mouse-over change in the menu boxes is to further define the contents... sort of a subheading. The "Technical and Engineering" section is further defined to contain both consumer and professional publications of a technical and engineering nature, followed by a drop-down menu with the publications that fit that set of categories.
The sub-menus split into hobbyist and professional options. Seems quite clear to me, but I'm the person who spent about 30,000 hours on scanning and programming the fully searchable site.

That's a great site. I didn't know about it.
I scanned thru the Summer 1951 issue of High Fidelity. I was not surprised to see ads for Klipsch, Garrard, Jensen; and everything was of course mono.
What I didn't expect was all the custom installations and discussion of hi-fi systems connected to TVs. I also didn't realize that LPs were prevalent at that time.
you did a great job of providing links - I've dug through some of that before but did not realize how much they've scanned. The overall search works pretty well too. That Absolute Sound publication looks cool but covers too much time/etc. At my age I need to get rid of stuff rather than accumulate any more ;^)

Hmm, peri-dynamic is a new one for me; any idea what it refers to?
