In the past three decades the problem of generating (balanced incomplete block) designs by difference sets has received much attention. Bose [2] gave the two "fundamental theorems of the method of differences". Bose, Sprott [9], Lehmer [7], Chowla [4], Takeuchi [10] and others have given specific classes of difference sets.
