[J. Forster]

Chris,

It's not that I doubt this particular schematic can be found elsewhere,
it's the implications for all kinds of books with foldouts.

Hard copy is going to disappear fairly soon, and if you are going to
digitize it, DO IT COMPLETELY.

If you have Google contacts, can you find out who runs the scanning
operation? IMO, 90+% of the value of any manual is the diagrams.
