The pdf verson of all 1000 drawings are now posted here - https://www.navy-radio.com/rcvrs/r390a/drawings/ The categories are ones Tom used as labels These are all PRELIMINARY and subject to change as noted below.
I need to go through them all and check that my auto-crop didn't mess them up. Let me know if you find one that needs re-cropping. I also need to put the multiple sheet drawings into combined files. I think that will just have to be done manually so don't get too impatient And we need to make descriptive file names for them all and I will build an index based on that. I am hoping that Gary's DFL will make that less tedious so hold off any manual work. many thanks to Tom for making this available.
