[R-390] Knob Drawings PDF's here

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I’m guessing that the “convert to PDF” gets them a long ways towards being saved for the future. It may or may not be some sort of “one at a time” manual process. 

If the index / list can be turned into something else, the first step *might* be something like an Excel spread sheet. Search the description field, get a number, go grab that PDF. It that clunky? you bet it is. Still, you can open some really old Excel spreadsheets. It also is a pretty good “long term” format. 

Yes, shoving it all into IMDb and doing a front end in Grafana would be way more cool. How long either of them hang around? Who knows …. Finding folks who know that stuff *and* have an R-390 orientation, also who knows.

I found newer apps online but still could not get the indexer to work so I was flying blind in the documents (over 900) but eventually found the knob drawings.
