About this scan
All 66 collated source surfaces are preserved: both observed outer covers, numbered instructional content through page 55, observed blank scan halves and four complete technical charts. Original source comprises 35 scans; spread divisions and rotations are documented. Some cover-interior surfaces and the original sequence of all blanks cannot be proved; complete physical-facsimile coverage is not claimed.
The 68-page printed edition adds two clearly identified modern title/source/safety pages. Foldouts appear as complete full-page images rather than folding leaves. Historical photocopy marks, aging and native scan limitations remain. No OCR reconstruction or invented content. A physical print sample has not yet been reviewed. Historical battery chemistry, electrical and operating procedures are archival reference, not current safety advice.
Source and reproduction status
The Anderson Electric Car Company / Early Electric
Original U.S. manufacturer publication issued October 1, 1915, for the 1916 season; public domain in the United States by term expiration. Public Early Electric index identifies the edition and discusses its public-domain and faithful-copy basis. No item-specific noncommercial restriction, inquiry requirement or modern creative addition was identified. This relies on the public-domain original and faithful reproduction, not an express modern license or worldwide clearance. Attribution does not imply endorsement.
