Thanks for the scans, Graeme. They're excellent. If most of the web
resources were this clean I wouldn't be speculating about recreating them.
That said, if we decide to recreate some of this material we should give
some thought to how best to format the finished docs for more easily
accessing the information in them rather than just reproducing them for
printing.
At the least you could use hyperlinks to move to related subjects or maybe
set them up so that clicking on a picture in a parts diagram generates a
pop-up with a part number. Yes, it would take some work, but it's worth
considering.
