[Elecraft] Tech Writing

[Mel Farrer]

Last thought on this.  While in the manufacturing business years ago at KLM, we 
had complaints about the assembly instructions.  From that point on, the 
receptionist had a new job title.  "Assembly instruction manual tester".  When 
the manual got to the level where she could put the antenna together 
successfully, we shipped it.  Know thy user.

Mel, K6KBE

Just like the user manual comic for the M16 Armalite, some 40 years ago :-)
