There are 32 possible combinations of symmetry operations that define the external symmetry of crystals. These 32 possible combinations result in the 32 crystal classes. But for a radar engineer it is inevitable to associate �32� to �5 bits�. I submit a tentative classification of the 32 crystal classes with a 5 bit classification, obviously with a (tentative) physical meaning of each bit. Each bit means a physical property.
Comments: 9 pages, v3 in Italian, v2 in English, corrections to the tables, and a new table added.
