Avro Lancaster and Lincoln manuals

[MiTasol]

I thought I had posted these four pages before I went to Brisbane and now find that I had not. My apologies.

These pages are the same edition as the ones previously posted but are not only in much better condition but are, surprisingly, on different sized paper - note the distance between the text and the bottom of the diagram frame on Figure 1 in particular.

My thanks go to the great people at the Lincs Aviation Heritage Centre at RAF Coningsby for providing these scans.

AP 2062A & C vIII pt 1 ed 2 Addendum of Illustrations

A friend with a good manual collection lent me this one and it has taken many months and at least five smart phone scanner prototypes to get one to work. Ironically I did a good job on the early ones and just "threw this one together". The task was to photograph pages that only open a small angle. The setup I used only opens the book 70 degrees so that each of the covers are only opened 35 degrees. That was necessary because of the way the manual was constructed. One single very heavy card cover wrapped around the pages and stapled.

The only remaining bug is that it is essential to do all the photos in a single session. I was about 60% through when we got visitors and when I set up again I selected the "same" 80% magnification - except it was a totally different 80%. It is annoying as many identical size pages came out in two different sizes, The other bugbear was that I did not know I needed to turn auto rotate off so it ended up using all four directions as up and I had to rotate most of the photos to "true" vertical. I don't believe it is worth spending another five or six hours by starting all over again or spending a couple of hors resizing the errant pages.

So here it is - as is but OCR'd.

EDIT nbn is at snail pace so I will upload the file later
