Um
Whoa! Hold on!
I'm not about to trespass into the hallowed environment of the toolroom and cause outrage. Been there.
Um is the title of Carl Zeiss' 1962 192 page "booklet" illustrating their range of metrological instruments. I had been trawling Ebay looking at scopes when this booklet popped up in the bar at the bottom of the page showing related items. Buy it now for 9 dollars and 6 dollars postage from Sydney. I already had a couple of Zeiss brochures and liked the quality of the graphics and photos they contained. Early sixties restraint. So when the booklet arrived I was more than happy. Page after page of the stuff.
My plan is to carefully photograph each double page and to copy the high resolution images on to a CD for dispersal. Stuart is responsible for my renewed interest in things optical. All started with his acquisition of the Kitten Kamera.
Stuart heads the mailing list. If anyone else is interested, please let me know.

Bob, Bruce, Ew, Josh, Matt and Stuart,
The CDs have just been posted. I've also sent one off to Michael G.
Bob, this may well be the extent of the interest. No point PDF-ing the 100 photos if they aren't going anywhere.

I would've loved a copy Bob.
Only thing I can't work out out is why this thread only appeared this afternoon. Dammit

Andre, I do have one CD mailer and one stamp left. If you email me your postal address I will send you a copy tomorrow.
This thread received a like from Jan in Holland. So Jan, if you are happy with the quality ( might be better because I used a tripod ) of the resized images above, I could send you ten images at a time via email. Quicker than me getting to the post office again. If you are interested, send me your email address. If you prefer the 232mb version send me your postal address.

I will ensure that you receive a copy pronto Phil.
