What should happen is that ONE PERSON, (max two) takes care of manuals. He should build a TM library. People send him the TM's, E-TM's or PDF files) and he posts them in an excel file. When you click on the TM number, it is the link to download that manual. When you do a search, using the size, model, NSN or TM number, it should give you a hit on the publication you want, or get you in the ballpark, so as to find it relatively quickly. Below is an example list. I used generators, because that's what I know best. And of course, the trailers would also need to be added to the list, as they are a part of the Power Unit. I was just to lazy to look them all up. Sadly, I have not figured out how to get the lines to show up on this example list. Makes it much easier to read. When someone sends in a new manual, or a manual with a change, Joe the Librarian deletes the old link, puts in the new link and away you go!. Yes, its a lot of work. But then if you want a comprehensive pool of information, (TM's the like) it needs to be done right.
