A History of Westford, Massachusetts in Its Place Names The first
settlers arrived in what is now Westford, Massachusetts, about
1664. Like new settlers every-where, they named the things around
them. They named the hills, brooks, ponds, and swamps. They named
the roads they used, the homes where they lived, and the schools
they built for their children. They brought names with them, they
borrowed names from the Native Americans, and they invented names.
What can we make of those place names today? When we examine
Westford's historical and current place names closely, we find that
they embody our town's history. In The Westford Gazetteer Robert
Oliphant collects over 2,000 such names, locates the places, dates
the names, documents their changes with time, and explains their
origins. Quotes from local histories, memoirs, town reports,
newspapers, and other documents help bring the names, and the
people who used them, alive. There is a great chasm between knowing
the name of something and knowing something. For Westford place
names, The Westford Gazetteer bridges that chasm.

Covering system architecture, implementation and testing, this work
is written by authors who are widely experienced with cellular
radio in general and with GSM in particular. It provides a
structured overview to help make sense of the GSM specifications
and surveys competing cellular systems such as NADC and CDMA.
Practical testing applications are explored in depth and compared
with similar techniques used with analogue cellular systems.
