GTD was Greenfield Tap and Die Corporation, a manufacturer of quality tooling based in Massachusetts. Below are snaps of a few pages from their 62 page guide. If there is interest I will photograph each page and post those photos here. Scanning is something I have to do at work and it's a pain in the freckle.

Of course, if you blokes find this stuff boring, then I won't bother.

Can someone let me know one way or the other, please.

If it's not too much pain in the freckle, I say go for it BT, you have so much great material. On the other hand, if I am the only one who replies, I won't be offended if you feel that it is all too much trouble, for little net gain.

And if you are the sole respondent Rob, I will post you a CD containing 62 photos.

Well boys, I can't see myself as Postman Pat so the posting will be here. Some one else can muck around to make the profusion of images more manageable.

I'm also interested! Since I can straighten photos and normalise the contrast settiongs fairly quickly and then convert the whole thing into a single PDF file, feel free to post the photos to me (PM me for my e-mail address) and I'll have a PDF file up here the following day. Resolution up to 4MB per photo would be best. My e-mail box can handle around 10MB per message.
Cheers,
Joe

Well, I slipped into work early on Thursday and scanned the catalogue only to find that I'd managed to scan half of each page. :doh: Wrong setting on the photocopier.
Whilst Joe had kindly offered to convert the jpegs to pdfs if I went down the photographic path, I discovered that with a simple right click, I could do it myself. Converting this collection into a single pdf is in someone else's realm. Remember fellas, I still draw on a drawing board. I know. A Luddite.

Anyway. here is the catalogue. The missing file numbers are due to my fooling around with the tripod.
