These are not your grandmother's scans. Every page has been hand-corrected to remove as many blemishes as possible. Color correction with a known color standard sheet was used to get the colors as close to the original as possible. Special care was taken with the half-tone images to make sure all the depth and range of the originals is preserved. Manuals are printed on 24 lb paper and comb-bound with clear plastic front cover and black plastic back sheet.


"Royal Canadian Air Force Description and Maintenance Instructions Packard Merlin V1650-3, -7", EO 10A-20A-2, 2 December 1949, Revised 7 April 1953, 158 pages with several 11x17 fold-out pages (3 of which are in color). This manual is unusual in that it covers the actual engine that was made in the Canadian Packard factory. Most manuals cover the British version and not the US/Canadian version of the engine. This was a "working" manual that was actually used for repairs - it has many, many greasy fingerprints. I managed to remove most of them, but not all.
