Yes,
he did write a lot of them. I think he talks about this in
his bio of Zane Grey. Probably also in his book _The Pulp
Jungle_, which is apparantly a sort of memoir to his career
as pulp hack. I tried to get this on E-bay but got ripped off
instead. As I recall, Gruber was one of the high speed guys
so I sort of doubt that a really good bibliography has been
done.
