About this scan

Two free PDF parts preserve all 36 source surfaces without resampling. Part 1 contains source scans 1–18: front cover, observed blank inside front cover and original pages 1–16. Part 2 contains source scans 19–36: original pages 17–32, observed blank inside rear cover and rear cover. Open Part 1 with Open Free PDF and use the clearly labeled Part 2 link below the reader.

Original dark wrappers, marks, staining and paper wear remain. Original p22’s landscape scan is losslessly rotated to the book’s portrait orientation; technical details are unchanged. Separately referenced Ward Leonard, Willard and Stromberg equipment publications are not included. Historical practices and obsolete materials are archival content, not current service or safety advice. A physical print sample has not yet been reviewed.
