[R-390] R-390 First Manual

[Jacques Fortin]

To all:

The manual is now available for download HERE:
http://bama.edebris.com/download/military/r390/Collins_R390_1953.pdf

Do not expect a perfect result, however.
But it is better than nothing...
I do not own the proper software(s) to "restore" such documents, but I know
from experience that this is possible.
If ever anyone else can provide a better copy (from an original, say...) it
will be welcome.
Some people asked me why I did not scanned only the sections that were
different from the TM11-856.
My answer is that the Collins First Manual, despite being less extensive
than the more recent R-390/URR manual versions, nevertheless have an
historical value.
Some information within cannot be found in the following versions, like the
original Collins Parts List, for example.

Take care.
