[R-390] 1954 Air Force R-390 "Charts and Diagrams"

[frank hughes]

Hi,
I came into possession of an interesting R-390 manual that I have not seen
before.

It is a 7 June 1954 Air Force "Charts and Diagrams", version C-5-15-(d) Rev
20 Sept 1956.

The manual has notes and circuit coloring that look like what we would do
in class while trying to reinforce
the lessons and technical information, so that we could master the
technology.

It is very legible, but the paper is old and darkening, brittle. (I know
that guy...)

My wife works at an engineering place that has fancy scanners.
The smaller pages were able to fit on a color scanner, came out great (but
they are large files)

The 40" fold-out pages were done on a black & white only scanner, so the
wonderful work that Airman Sullivan did
coloring the circuit components and paths is not evident.

I have put the cover of the manual here:

If you click on "options" there is a "download" selection.

If there is any interest expressed, I will see if it is possible to put all
the manual pages on the same site.
