[R-390] R-390 First Manual

[Jacques Fortin]

OK guys,

W1RC wrote me that he had found a .pdf of it, but it turned out to be just another scan of the TM11-856 (Jan. 1955).
So I will begin to scan the ±260 pages of the 1953 manual, and this will take some time...
I will tell you when it will be ready to be downloaded.
Be prepared to perform some pages "reassembly" however.
The double size pages of the original were photocopied in "overlapping" mode, so nothing can be missing.
However, please remember that what I have is an old photocopy, not the original, and this photocopy shows some artefacts of the copier I used at school where I was teaching at the time.
Apart some visible loss of definition, the image drum surface of this Nashua copier had a scar that looks like a teardrop which appears randomly in the pages...

On the manuals "wrong sentence" issue now:
As I am even older than the 1953 manual publication date, I forgot some details, here and there... including this one:
The "error" was corrected in the Change #4 (22 December 1958) for the TM11-856.
See the C4 on p.13 for the p.116 of the main manual: it modifies the text to be correct instead of removing it, but that cannot explain why the "wrong" form made it's way to the TM11-5820-357-35 (9 March 1962).
For the ones that not yet have the Changes applicable to the TM11-856, they can be found HERE:

Stay safe and well.
