[R-390] R-390 First Manual

[mdmerz]

Jacques, thank you for post.  I was struck by use of “alinement” versus “alignment”.  I think I’ve never seen that spelling. There must have been a good discussion of that at some point because “alignment” seems to be prevalent later in the manuals.  Evidently either spelling is correct to my surprise.  I appreciate being able to look at that early version and see better treatment of the issue that started this thread.  Best regards, Dan
