F  A  Q

 
    Are these books, printed copies or CDs ?
They are electronic copies of the original long out-of-print texts, on CD-rom. Created by hand scanning each and every page individually to ensure the best quality, they are then touched up (where needed) and saved as Adobe PDF files.

   Do I need any special software to view these plans ?
Most PCs and MACs these days have a web browser installed with ACrobat Redaer software installed. In case you don't though, we have provided free Reader software for Windows, MAC, & Linux on each and every CD.

   Can I print them to make drawings that I can use in my workshop ?
Certainly, and the PDF format makes it easy to print them at what ever scale you wish...so if you just want to zoom in on a small detailed section you can and unless it is over 300% larger it is usually clear enough.

   Do you own the rights to these editions ?
Most of the books in each product are either pre-1923 and therefore in the public domain, OR the copyright has been determined to have expired. That is for the original texts, I have added additional details and notes that are copyrighted by Loose Cannon. Thus it is not legal to reproduce my CDs and re-sell them.

   My CD has arrived damaged  OR it doesn't seem to open on my computer.
