[R-390] 390/390a gear train

[mdmerz at verizon.net]

 Roy/Craig,  very appropriate to what I was looking for.  I don't think I've
seen reference to "EDMICS Drawing Set" in my travels through the 390a
archives or elsewhere.  This sounds like an important piece of data to keep
track of for future 390 travelers.  Is this file format the same as
"JEDMICS" which I get reference to if I google EDMICS ?  I see one can
download a "free" JEDMICS viewer.  I hope your memory of this particular
390a material turns up a source for the drawings.  In looking thru Craig
McCartney's list of drawings on the R390.net page,  I realize I don't know
where the drawings that the numbers refer to are located.  Is this a list of
drawings that are available somewhere to me or is this just a list of
drawing extracted from some document,  and the drawings themselves are
unavailable?  To the "new" traveler like me,  I'm unsure where to pursue
seeing the actual drawings.  Perhaps this is the index to the "EDMICS"
drawings?   Maybe this is the set of drawings that Craig Anderson mentions
having on a CD-ROM in a later post?    regards,  Dan

Gear Detail Seekers,

Has anyone got "The EDMICS Drawing Set" for the R-390A available?

This is a large set of the original drawings, with a very lame index, and
the special reader program needed. 

I had it installed on an earlier computer that more or less died some time
ago.
As I remember, someone developed a supplemental index that was more useful.

(Sorry if someone has investigated this set of drawings, and reported - I
have not seen every mesage in this thread.)
