Post by: hatzie on March 02, 2013, 04:05:45 am: Several thousand pages of scans. Sheetfeed and ABYY Finereader OCR is a good thing but it still takes a good chunk of time babysitting the process.
Stitching the 11" x 36" & 38" wiring pages is what really eats time. I only scanned the 73-86 CK10-30 pages for this reason.

I still need to scan the 86 unit repair and 73-80 medium and heavy manuals in my library. I may not get to those till this summer or even later. The 73-86 G P & 40-90 pages from the wiring diagrams may not ever get done.
