Square Forum

Folks, does anyone know if the club publication 'Square Forum' is in the library? has anyone produced a pdf of it?

Hi Simon, PM Jerry Mortimore
He advertised copies on te forum a while back.

Thanks Brenton. I have a copy - I was considering approaching the authors for permission & then scanning it, so that we all had access from the library.

Nice idea Simon, and I doubt if the author would mind.
However it is one of the books that the AOMCC has had printed for benefit of members and still has stocks of. If it is put up on the club website, it will be rather difficult to sell the remaining copies. Scanning of out of print stuff, on the other hand, is very welcome. I was recently looking at the Parts lists in the documents repositary - there are a lot missing and some which are in there are incomplete. A concentrated effort to fill in the gaps would be very welcome.

Getting complete parts lists/owners manuals was on my list for winter, last year, but work went a bit silly.
Provided work is ok, then I'll tackle it this winter.

I understand we have the service bulletins now scanned in one giant document.
I am waiting to get it from Paul, so I can break it up and post it up.

I'm also happy to do leg work - breaking up documents and thumbnailing for web pages.
There used to be an email - knowledgebase@ - Im not sure if this still works?

Message recieved chaps - I won't scan if if you still have copies available. I have a '51 SQ4 parts list though, I don't think that is in the library.

That'd be awesome. Thanks Simon. It's best if you can scan at reasonable resolution, to jpeg's.

I was going to scan it to pdf. then I can run the OCR facility and it will be searchable. OK? I can scan in whatever resolution we want. What's a practical file size limitation?

Hmm... I have 26 Mb...
