Hard Copy Manuals

[pitpawten]

Cheap laser printer and toner from ebay for $50. Print it out double sided and put em in a 3 ring binder.

You can replace worn pages easily and add dividers etc.

Have done this for my trucks and tractors works great.

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.
