Not necessarily the case here, but there is some span of time where 
things don't show up in Google, although it might have been published. 
For instance, a lot of older technical reports from government agencies 
(NBS) or older journals may be on line, but haven't been OCR processed 
for indexing, so google doesn't find them.

For instance, J.P. Costas's paper on why suppressed carrier is a better 
modulation (Poisson, Shannon and the Radio Amateur, Proc. IRE 1959) 
doesn't show up if you search on a bunch of logical things (DSB, Amateur 
Radio, etc.
