I've previously hailed the efforts of David Gleason in this forum.
He has reached deep in his own wallet to build a remarkable free
online library of historic broadcasting publications (for both radio
and TV, despite the domain name) at <a
href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/americanradiohistorycom/207035032673171">AmericanRadioHistory.com</a><br>
<br>
David has now offered to scan/digitize Quad manuals, such as those
Ampex Manuals that Dennis McDonald planned to re-cycle, if someone
can get them into his hands. For his efforts, he asks all Quadlist
members to energetically poll their network of fellow engineers to
locate even more historical broadcasting magazines for David to
scan/digitize and add to his site. (Think of it as a scan swap.)<br>

"I would certainly do that. In fact, I have an Ampex manual on its
way from a group member. He does not want the manual back, so that
means I can shear off the binding and sheet feed the book, meaning
500 pages in 10 minutes or so, and another hour to process and get a
good PDF. I’d be glad to do that for anyone, and give them a PDF
ready to put on their computer or a DVD. If they want the binding
intact and the material returned, it takes a lot of work….. 500
pages by hand on the Book Pro library scanner is about 6 hours. So I
prefer the option of trimming the binding, sheet scanning and
sending the member a PDF. I will get some cool stuff, too… like the
Ampex manual, which I’d love to have."<br>
<br>
It's a little early to break out the celebratory champagne, but I
think David could go a long way in making Park's dream of seeing all
surviving quad manuals scanned and digitized come true.<br>
