online in English and one in German.

German, 2 in French and 1 each in Spanish and Italian. It would seem
that thee were several prints each year in each language from before
1958 until 1977. There are some interesting changes in the photographs
chosen to included over the production years. Most of the text is the
same, although later manuals have less pages. The largest difference is
in the available accessories shown.

and many more issued in the last 20 years are now on line in several

There are also a number of articles and newsletters included.
Most scans are at 200dpi but an increasing number are at 300dpi, so
images are large to display and in file size. Seen at half size or
one-third or scaled by the browser will not display then correctly. They
are best viewed with a graphics program or printed back to back and
trimmed into their original booklet format.
