Dan et al.: Here is a list of references to the original papers in which
the various versions of the Euclidean and CF algorithms are described.
Mandelbaum's dissertation, "Multiple Divisions of the Octave and the
Tonal Resources of 19 Tone Temperament has a good discussion of Brun's
algorithm. I heartily recommend this dissertation, available from Xerox
University Microfilms and interlibrary loan. It was written at Indiana
University in 1961.
