The book occasionally references drawings or specs which are in other books. This book was made from a typewritten copy. Nearly all the words are readable, but the original type sometimes has gaps in the letters, so the print quality isn't perfect. There are a few pages in the book with unreadable portions.

Each page is watermarked, please see the sample page.
